A series of press-moulded decorative tiles were designed by Harold Stabler and manufactured by Poole Pottery to adorn the walls of several stations built or refurbished as part of the New Works Programme in the 1930s.
Tiles were produced for Aldgate East, Bethnal Green, St John's Wood, St Paul's and Swiss Cottage. There are a total of eighteen different tile designs, but only Swiss Cottage has examples of the whole set. Four examples from Swiss Cottage are depicted here.
Three tiles from Marsden. George Marsden patented a technique for incorporating coloured slip into the front of a tile as it was pressed, and these are good examples of this work, with some subsequent hand embellishing. A year or two either side of 1900.

Spanish Tile Floor is Tivoli Attraction
There is much of interest concerning many of the details of design and finish of Crandall's Tivoli theater, at Fourteenth street and Park road northwest, that has not found its way into print during all of the excitement of dedicating the new temple of the arts. One feature that has elicited unusual comment since the inaugural a week ago last night is the Spanish Tile floor in the entrance foyer.
This floor is in a flower design executed in the most delicate pastel shades. It is of interest to know that this tile is made only by Spaniards, who keep the process secret. It was laid in the Tivoli by Edward Stevens. The only other installation of this design ever made is in the Seville Tea Room at Havana Cuba. This floor has long been considered by architects and artists to be the most beautiful in existence.
Originally in the Guess Where D.C. pool.
12/08 update: Mayorga has closed and these are behind locked doors again.
The Sydney Opera House's sails are covered in 1,056,000 specially designed tiles of two varieties: ice and snow. The arrangements of the two tile types on chevrons are such that the sunlight reflects the sails variably based on their position, angle and timing. Two years of design work were poured into the tiles to ensure a perfect pattern such that the Sydney Opera House is consequently a living, breathing building, changing its appearance with time.
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.

YELLOW/GREEN/BLUE... the Spanish love their glazed colourful tiles and use them on floors, on walls, inside and outside, made with great Artistry and creativity, they liven up the place and are part of the architecture.
These were 4 flights of stairs, a real eye-teaser. Standing in front of it, it looked like a tall wall, I asked a model to go and sit on the first landing, free and comfortable, not posed.
I have it with all the steps, but the place was surrounded by palm trees, it was impossible to get a picture without shadow, this was over the midday= the least, so I decided to go for a closer comp.
Have a colourful day and thanx for your comments, M, (*_*)

Pattern E37 from the Birch Tile Company of Stoke on Trent, 1890s. In some colour ways the corners were not coloured, they do look rather heavy when dark brown. Having said that, they were designed to be a single vertical row up the side of a fireplace, or two rows on a washstand.

The background tile is a creation of my own. I liked the way it made the eye look when I blended them together.
