One of six tile photos I'm posting. All taken at the Hearst Castle.
I am posting all of them at the same time. I've been wanting to post them to my Pinterest tile board, but wanted them to link back here, so everyone viewing knows their origin and photographer.

Tiles laid out on the island to plan for installation.
The gray tiles are porcelain, and will be cut to fit against the mass of colored dots all the way around the outside. That sounds like a lot of cutting, but the tile guys think it will be interesting.

One of a Zodiac series, on a late 1950-s or early 1960s Hereford tiles blank. As well as decorating their own tiles, they supplied blanks to decorators, who did not always mark each tile. So I am not sure of the artist in this case.

A transfer print registered to the Staffordshire Tile Company of Longport, Stoke on Trent, in 1893. Not a huge lot more is known about the company; these particular tiles are decorated on blanks of a type made by Marsden, and in 1900 there was a 'Staffordshire Art Tile Company' with an address on the Liverpool Road in Stoke, far enough away from Longport to either be a different company, or the original had moved and changed name.

Another Tuesday texture for your Photoshopping fun (or as a pretty decent wallpaper, too). This one's from the ceiling of a light rail station in downtown Denver.

...but unlike last time, they left a path where anyone can access the former pharmacy space! I shouldn't have gone in there... but I did ;)
This shot takes a much better, closer-up look at the dark green tile outside of the pharmacy, no longer blocked by ever-changing displays.

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
"The Luce Memorial Chapel was built on the campus of Tunghai University, Taichung, Taiwan. was designed by the architect and artist Chen Chi-Kwan in collaboration with the firm of noted architect I. M. Pei, and named in honor of the Rev. Henry W. Luce, an American missionary in China in the late 19th century and father of Time and Life magazines' publisher Henry Luce. Construction took place from September 1962 until November 1963."

I created a (windows) application for merging single tiles into one big image, because of Flash cannot handle a bigger BitmapData object than 2880x2880 px.
It's free, so feel free to use it.

The guard told me no photos are allowed, I told him the tiles were beautiful, he let met have one shot, hence not straight at all
This tile was installed in a large home with wide open spaces. It was chosen for its travertine appearance, and as an imported Italian tile, its size and shape added depth to the home.
H&R Johnson blanks, outer tiles 1970, central tile 1980's? Kenneth Clark and his wife Ann (nee Wynn-Reeves) were giants of tile design in the 1960's onwards, developing a range of innovative techniques and super designs.

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. This was probably in production for a couple of years at least, the transfer has been engraved a second time without a registration number, perhaps the three years protection had passed so there was no point including the number. 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 check). 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 an eight bar blank. Unfortunately, of the examples I can reference, only one has exactly the same six bar back.
The top right tile in this image is a Wooliscroft blank, I think.
