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.

I love blue tile, and really tried to find an area of the yard where I could incorporate this look, it will happen someday!
This beautiful handmade tile is made of polymer clay on a 6" square piece of treated hardboard and features one of my favorite Fossil watches. The watch face is filled with a light amber liquid and tiny gears, watch hands and screws float around inside. Also included are different types of leather and metal watch bands, an old key, a metal leaf, a green glass gem, miscellaneous jewelry pieces, a lock carved from hematite and a curious old pendant with very unusual polished stones. The stones appear black or a very dark gray but when light hits the stones it reveals a wriggly pale blue chatoyancy with a splash of gold. Subtle beauty!

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.
Incredible colours (unedited!) in the traditional fishing village of São Pedro da Afurada, Vila Nova de Gaia (Porto district).
The patterns on the tiles are completely different from the ones in the city of Porto, on the other side of the Douro river.

Mosaic Tiles On The Outer Wall of Golestan Palace.
Golestān Palace (Persian: کاخ گلستان) pronounced "Kakheh Golestān" is the former royal Qajar complex in Iran's capital city.
The oldest of the historic monuments in Tehran, the Golestan Palace (also Gulistan Palace) (The Rose Garden Palace) belongs to a group of royal buildings that were once enclosed within the mud-thatched walls of Tehran’s Historic Arg (citadel).
In its present state, Golestan Palace is the result of roughly 400 years construction and renovations. The buildings at the contemporary location each have a unique history
کاخ گلستان مجموعهای از بناها است که در میدان ارگ تهران واقع است. بناهای این کاخ در زمانهای مختلف ساخته شدهاند.
نام آن از تالار گلستان واقع در عمارت خروجی گرفته شدهاست .
شروع آن به ارگ تاریخی تهران و زمان شاه طهماسب اول باز میگردد ولی در دورهٔ قاجار گسترش فراوانی یافت و محل سکونت شاهان قاجار بود.
در زمان پهلوی جهت مراسم رسمی و محل اقامت روسای جمهور و مهمانان ویژهٔ خارجی استفاده میشد. با این وجود قسمتهایی از آن در این زمان تخریب گردید.
اتفاقهای مهمی از تاریخ معاصر ایران در این مجموعه به وقوع پیوستهاست.
در حال حاضر به صورت موزه مورد استفاده قرار دارد.
