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.

There was a Trent Tile Company in Trenton, New Jersey, USA; it opened as Harris Manufacturing in 1882, was renamed Trent Tile in 1883 and closed in 1939. There was also a less well known Trent Art Tile Company in Swadlincote, Derbyshire; there are some liquidation accounts from 1901 in the National Archive at Kew, one day I will get there! Given I bought the tile from Michael Swann who lives a few miles from Swadlincote, I favour the UK factory as the maker of this example, though I am not aware many tiles from the Swadlincote factory are known.

Screen primted tiles from the late 1950's - the dust pressed tiles had a date on them, these were made for outdoor use (if necessary) from plastic clay, and have no date mark.
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. 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 cheek). 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 a nine bar blank. Unfortunately, of the examples I can reference, only one has exactly the same six bar back as the Timmis and Watkin example here.

In Chiloé Island, Chile, traditional houses are entirely covered in wood tiles, measuring aroung 60x10 cm each (aprox. 24x4"). Originally all tiles were straight, but each owner tried to make his home unique by cutting the tiles in different shapes. Different styles emerged, and when shapes alone were not enough, owners started to combine, arrange and paint to create unique styles. The result is a immense variety of wood tiling.
In this collection I tried to show a selection of wood tilings, and I also tried to create a coding for identifying unique tiles and arrangements.
