Gur-e Amir is Persian for "Tomb of the King". This architectural complex with its azure dome contains the tombs of Tamerlane, his sons Shah Rukh and Miran Shah and grandsons Ulugh Beg and Muhammad Sultan. Also honoured with a place in the tomb is Timur's teacher Sayyid Baraka.

The importance of tilework in Persian architecture arises from two important factors; first the need to weatherproof the simple clay bricks used in construction, and secondly the need to ornament the buildings.The colours used were blue, yellow, turquoise, pink, aubergine and green.

Tilework in the portico of a house built in 1888. The Art-Nouveau style of the tiles suggests that they are a later addition. There are identical tiles in the portico of the house next door (nr. 388); in both houses was a flower shop called Kauffmann from 1907 until 1985, when it moved to the nearby village of Weesp. It still exists (as Kauffmann-Frankenhuysen-Corona).
Another detail of the shop front is here.
The tiles are terra cotta, and are bound to the wooden slats with fiber. This is on the front porch. It poured rain the other night and there were no leaks, so it appears to work ok.

اگرشخصی ارزش دارائی که در دست دارد را نداند ، یا آنرا نابود خواهد کرد یا به راهزنان تسلیم .همچنین است فرهنگ و میراث فرهنگی برای یک ملت.
ما اگر ندانیم که یکی از پر ارزشترین کارهای هنری دنیا هنر کاشیکاری ما بوده ، یا بی تفاوت از کنارش گذشته یا آن را تقدیم راهزنانی خواهیم نمود که با ماسک اسلامی به غارت و چپاول کشورهای خاورمیانه و شمال افریقا عزم نموده اند .واین هیچ اتفاقی نیست که ایشان دست نشاندگانی در حکومت ایران داشته اند که اصرار دارند میراث فرهنگی ایران یک میراث مشترک باید باشد؛ تا شاید بتوانند ذره ای از گذشته اربابان راهزنشان را بپوشانند.
اگر این هنر صرفا اسلامی باشد پس چرا عین همین هنر را در دیگر کشورهای مسلمان نشین نمی بینیم؟

This fine example of tilework is found on this storefront on Market St., Kingston, PA.
To me, this appears to be of the Art-Deco Style.
Though it still looks good, the original work extended for a longer distance into an alcove. The store's dimensions were changed, eliminating the alcove, and resultantly, the full effect of this tilework.
A lot of the Mosaic tilework found in public places, churches, palaces and monuments are of the blue-and white variety, which became popular in the second half of the 17th century. The Spanish artist Gabriel del Barco Y Minusca introduced into Portugal the blue-and-white tiles from Delft in the Netherlands.

the last leg of a summer abroad: ship off from a moroccan medina to ten days in barcelona, full up with reading, museums, gaudi, some catalan, much aimless wandering, and the most blessed five days at a benedictine monastery.
