Handmade polymer clay tiles with millefiore and gold-leaf accents. For an idea of size the one on the left (swirls on bottom-purp/greens) is 1 3/4 x 1 1/2".
This is part of a tiled wall outside a huge block of flats in Rotherhithe, right next to the River Thames. The tiles play tricks on your eyes as they look like they are undulating, when in fast they are completely straight. I love the vibrant colours these provide.
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.

Lisbon, Mar. 3, 2014.
After I shot this photo, I realized that I had shot a repetitive pattern of life, not just of tiles. On Mar. 7, I went back with a print an offered it to the gentleman, Carlos Pedrosa. I hope to see him there for a long time.
This company operated out of the Bridge Tile Works, Tunstall, from around 1897 to 1912, making a large number of tiles, especially moulded designs. Many of the designs were unremarkable, though the peacock feather bottom left corner was better and popular. Centre left is part of the 'Rosebud' series, after book illustrations by Randolph Caldecott, it is just possible a Corn Bros blank was decorated by another company.
The Corn family were involved in several different companies at the time in Stoke. Edward Corn bought a pottery works in 1837, he retired around 1850 and the company was run by his sons, William (d.1885) and Edward (d.1891). The sons of the younger Edward, Alfred Henry Corn (d.1916) and Edmund Richards Corn (d.1945) ran the business W&E Corn, which became Henry Richards in 1903. An R Corn, registered a tile design in 1898, giving an address of the Bridge Tile Works, Longport. This seems to have been Reginald Corn, who had worked with Alfred and Edmund but split away and used the Bridge Tile Works. Perhaps he established the company Corn Brothers (or there was an agreement with his brothers that he could use the name Corn Brothers while the others used W&E Corn). However, the story is still not 100% clear, the history of Richards Tiles says three companies in Stoke were using the name 'Corn' at the same time, which is why their name was switched to 'Henry Richards', and I don't know whether the family of William Corn (d.1885) worked in the industry.

Well I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, mainly because I don't read many online "reviews," because they are so poorly written.
Anyway, in the interest of raising awareness (as is the custom of domesticated primates), I've posted this pic of what is perhaps the greatest 1x1 printed tile in the last few years.
It looks amazing. Best of all, looks like there's at least two in each of the new Snowspeeder and AT-AT.
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.
This 3 x 3 glass subway tile was purchased from www.susanjablon.com. She has some of the best customer service around! I think the color is Green apple.

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!

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.

Now I wish I had written the street name also.
