Heritage quality glazed wall tiles
Glazed tiles were a popular way to bring colour to Victorian décor. Plain-coloured tiles and simple mouldings and fittings were designed to adorn the walls of porch entrances, surround fire hearths, or add style to kitchens and bathrooms in Victorian homes. Today, this style of tile remains just as compelling for those restoring or reimagining homes with heritage character.
In response, we’ve sourced a collection of hand-made glazed wall tiles from a specialist pottery that shares our passion for traditional craftsmanship. Using original machinery, historic glaze recipes, and traditional methods, including tube-line hand decoration, painting and screen printing, they faithfully reproduce the quality and charm of original tiles from over a century ago.
The glazes are rich and translucent, with natural variation in tone and fine crazing that gives each tile its character. These subtle irregularities that can develop with time are not flaws but part of what makes them genuine and perfect for careful restorations and authentic new installations.
These are among some of the finest period-style glazed tiles available today.
Our glazed wall tiles collections
Plain coloured tiles are 152 x 152 mm and can be cut to any size and shape before the glaze is applied. The fittings and decorated tiles can be produced in any combination of colours.
Please note, due to the hand made production of these tiles, lead time for supply from the pottery is usually 8 to 12 weeks.
Prices
- Costs range from £1.76 to £79.00 per tile.
- For bespoke patterns and new moulds, prices start from £1,250.
- Colour matching starts from £400.
