*Please note: These vintage tiles are UNUSED i.e. they have NOT been attached to a wall or floor surface & are therefore completely clean of adhesive & in effect in ‘as new’ condition. This is extremely rare for vintage tiles made nearly 4 decades ago.
The Art Tile Company created these high quality ceramic tiles nearly 40 years ago. They combined (then) state of the art technology with traditional skills & techniques to create authentic replica designs. Tiles were decorated using different techniques including transfer & lithograph printing & sometimes hand painting (sometimes combined). The complexity of these processes is reflected in the value & price of each product.
Printed & painted patterns can vary & occasionally even lose some of their design register during the production & firing process. Even with a batch of the same coloured tiles; there are always likely to be colour variations due to these hand decoration techniques & even kiln position. We will always try to select & provide matching tiles when customers order a number of the same designs. Glaze surfaces can be uneven & occasionally include ‘imperfections’. We feel this is inherent to the authenticity & character of these period replica tiles. Anyone who has studied original Victorian tiles will know that they were subject to even more variation & sometimes quite significant ‘blemishes’; mainly due to the somewhat imprecise nature of coal-fired bottle ovens. We respect that some people want more standard ‘perfect’ tiles. If this is the case; then these tiles probably aren’t for you. However, we would love you to consider them for your needs; we don’t believe you will be disappointed!
