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!
Mining in Taxco began in the pre-Hispanic period with natives extracting a number of stones for decorative and ritual purposes. I t was the seat of the Aztec governor who presided over tribute collection in the surrounding seven districts. The modern Spanish town of Taxco was founded by Hernán Cortés in an area previously known as Tetelcingo, because of the abundance of silver. Silverwork and tourism related to Taxco’s status as a silver town is the mainstay of the economy. At the center of the town is the Parish of Santa Prisca y San Sebastián, which is surrounded by a sea of Spanish-style, red-tile roofs. The streets are very irregular, ascending and descending quickly. They are also narrow, with most lacking sidewalks. This makes the streets picturesque but dangerous at the same time. Adding to the charm is that most streets are paved with dark stones, adorned with lines, pictures and even murals of white stone. (Wikipedia)

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.

The Athangudi tiles are popular handmade decorative floor tiles, originating from the Chettinadu region of Tamil Nadu. Athangudi tiles are traditionally designed and completely handmade, which add charm to the interiors of a house. These flower tiles of Athangudi stands out for its class, bringing forth the rich cultural heritage of the Karaikudi. The raw materials used for making athangudi tiles are the local soil, cement, baby jelly and synthetic oxides.
Sand will be finely sieved and used as base material for the tile. colour oxide mixes were poured over a glass fitted with a tile mould.
the worker made the design by hand or sometimes uses moulds. over the colour dye, cement and sands were sprinkled and later pressed with a layer of cement and kept under sun to dry. The dried tiles are transferred to a water tank for curing.
after the process is over the tile is taken out of water bath and the front glass will be removed to get beautiful handmade tile, ready to use in floorings.
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.

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.
