Tiles from the latest 2008 edition of Acquire. They look nice, but I'd prefer something more chunky than flat cardboard.

A bit of roof tiling in the mediterranean biome at the Eden Project.
This sort of visual gimmick wins every time (for me), and deserves to. I think this was at the front of the Bartell Theater. Correct me if I'm wrong there.
Tiles that make up some of the sidewalks in Barcelona. They were in fact light green, with little contrast, but I fixed that in Photoshop. Nice patterns!

One of six tile photos I'm posting. All taken at the Hearst Castle.
I am posting all of them at the same time. I've been wanting to post them to my Pinterest tile board, but wanted them to link back here, so everyone viewing knows their origin and photographer.

This is a detail from the tiles in our bathroom. It was a bit boring as it was, so I increased the saturation and got these wonderful colours.

Charles Timmis ran a tile decorating company at the Sheaf Works, Longton, Stoke on Trent. Two tile designs were registered in 1889 and the company was mentioned in the Pottery Gazette in 1890. It seems likely that Charles Timmis went into partnership with Watkin and the jointly named company worked from the same address, registering three designs in 1890 and 1891. That is about all that is currently known. The top two tiles are examples of one of the 1889 designs, pattern number 22. This was probably in production for a couple of years at least, the transfer has been engraved a second time without a registration number, perhaps the three years protection had passed so there was no point including the number. The bottom left tile is the other 1889 design (I think there was a two tile panel in the same manner, the whole forming a fireplace check). Bottom right is one of the Timmis and Watkin designs from 1891, pattern number 51A.
One might surmise from this that they didn't make a whole load of designs, by the time you include border and plain tiles a pattern book of 51 designs is not a lot. The other interesting feature is the pattern number in a diamond which is rather unusual. Excluding Pilkington's, there are a number of transfer print and tint tiles of this type with diamond pattern numbers, ranging from 11 to 100. Lower numbers are on T&R Boote type ring blanks, higher number on an eight bar blank. Unfortunately, of the examples I can reference, only one has exactly the same six bar back.
The top right tile in this image is a Wooliscroft blank, I think.
The big square on this necklace is a bathroom tile! A customer of mine bought 6 beautiful tiles and ask me to make necklaces from them. This is one of them

Minton Tiles.
The pavement of the chancel and tower is of tiles reproduced by the Minton Campbell Company of Stoke-on-Trent from designs found in ancient tiles discovered during the restoration work in 1881.

Mainly Early English from circa 1220 but a few remnants of earlier Norman work survive.
Grade l listed.
porcelain tiles painted with ceramic paint and vintage embroidery thread glued to sides and looped for hanging
We finished tiling last night after working for a total of about four hours on it. You'll note the gaps where cabinets will be and we didn't want to waste expensive tile (or make more cuts than we needed to).
We're doing some last painting Friday night, grouting Saturday morning, and then we're all set for cabinet installation on Monday!

Clive Simmonds (1938-1997) made tiles in England from 1963-1978, this would be typical of the rich colours and style of his work.

H&R Johnson blanks, outer tiles 1970, central tile 1980's? Kenneth Clark and his wife Ann (nee Wynn-Reeves) were giants of tile design in the 1960's onwards, developing a range of innovative techniques and super designs.

37 tiles make up the coloured star in the middle. This is one of the "classic" patterns of 37 objects.

This pan is marked only "dura brass" but the tile inset looked so much like my Ernest Sohn cheese plate that I was thinking it might have been designed by him. Also he was known for combining metal, wood and ceramic. I really have no clue if it is ok to put on the burner or what the purpose of the tile is.
