Pattern E37 from the Birch Tile Company of Stoke on Trent, 1890s. In some colour ways the corners were not coloured, they do look rather heavy when dark brown. Having said that, they were designed to be a single vertical row up the side of a fireplace, or two rows on a washstand.

Lisbon, Mar. 3, 2014.
After I shot this photo, I realized that I had shot a repetitive pattern of life, not just of tiles. On Mar. 7, I went back with a print an offered it to the gentleman, Carlos Pedrosa. I hope to see him there for a long time.
This company operated out of the Bridge Tile Works, Tunstall, from around 1897 to 1912, making a large number of tiles, especially moulded designs. Many of the designs were unremarkable, though the peacock feather bottom left corner was better and popular. Centre left is part of the 'Rosebud' series, after book illustrations by Randolph Caldecott, it is just possible a Corn Bros blank was decorated by another company.
The Corn family were involved in several different companies at the time in Stoke. Edward Corn bought a pottery works in 1837, he retired around 1850 and the company was run by his sons, William (d.1885) and Edward (d.1891). The sons of the younger Edward, Alfred Henry Corn (d.1916) and Edmund Richards Corn (d.1945) ran the business W&E Corn, which became Henry Richards in 1903. An R Corn, registered a tile design in 1898, giving an address of the Bridge Tile Works, Longport. This seems to have been Reginald Corn, who had worked with Alfred and Edmund but split away and used the Bridge Tile Works. Perhaps he established the company Corn Brothers (or there was an agreement with his brothers that he could use the name Corn Brothers while the others used W&E Corn). However, the story is still not 100% clear, the history of Richards Tiles says three companies in Stoke were using the name 'Corn' at the same time, which is why their name was switched to 'Henry Richards', and I don't know whether the family of William Corn (d.1885) worked in the industry.

Tomás António Ribeiro Ferreira (1 July 1831 – 6 February 1901), better known as Tomás Ribeiro or Thomaz Ribeiro, was a Portuguese politician, journalist, poet and Ultra-Romantic writer. He was born in Parada de Gonta, Viseu. After graduating in law at the University of Coimbra, he practised law briefly before turning to a political career. A prominent member of the Partido Regenerador, he was at various times Mayor of Viseu, Deputy, Peer of the Realm, Minister of Maritime Affairs, Minister of Public Works and Civil Governor of the districts of Braga and Porto. He was also secretary general of the government of Portuguese India and ambassador of Portugal in Brazil. Elected a member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, he was president of the Department of Letters. He died in Lisbon. A versatile writer and journalist, Tomás Ribeiro left a vast body of work. He was the father of the poet Branca de Gonta Colaço and grandfather of the writer Tomás Ribeiro Colaço.
An abstract of the Sydney Opera House. I love the pattern of the tiles and the forms of the 'sails'.
The axes of honeycomb cells are always quasi-horizontal, and the non-angled rows of honeycomb cells are always horizontally (not vertically) aligned. Thus, each cell has two vertical walls, with "floors" and "ceilings" composed of two angled walls. The cells slope slightly upwards, between 9 and 14 degrees, towards the open ends.
There are two possible explanations for the reason that honeycomb is composed of hexagons, rather than any other shape. One, given by Jan Brożek, is that the hexagon tiles the plane with minimal surface area. Thus a hexagonal structure uses the least material to create a lattice of cells within a given volume. Another, given by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, is that the shape simply results from the process of individual bees putting cells together: somewhat analogous to the boundary shapes created in a field of soap bubbles. In support of this he notes that queen cells, which are constructed singly, are irregular and lumpy with no apparent attempt at efficiency.
The closed ends of the honeycomb cells are also an example of geometric efficiency, albeit three-dimensional and little-noticed. The ends are trihedral (i.e., composed of three planes) sections of rhombic dodecahedra, with the dihedral angles of all adjacent surfaces measuring 120°, the angle that minimizes surface area for a given volume.

Pool time at a local bar. At one point I looked down and saw these wooden tiles that looked like these could be moved to generate a pattern. Did not win a single game but Bell's Hopslam [goo.gl/ld35GB] was awesome.
had this on on the hardrive for a whil now but wasnt happy with the compo. girl in the middle would have looked nicer. i still really like it so here it is
Another group of alphabet/animal tiles. Top marks if you know what the 'X' - I had to look it up (see the tags for the answer).
