The Victorian range from Designer Ceramics - devine embossed tiles


This was an innovative period where advances in mechanisation led to further creativity in design and colour usage. Tubelining became a popular method of decoration where fine tubes of slip clay were hand drawn onto the tiles and the reservoirs between the tubes were decorated with different coloured glazes.

Embossed tiles were manufactured using dust pressing techniques and when the glazes were applied the deeper areas became darker and the higher areas lighter giving a real three dimensional effect.

Spraying tiles through stencils onto wall tiles was another decorating effect creating a separation of colours.

Floral decoration tiles was the most popular design used on Victorian tiles. Following on from flowers were leaves, fruit, birds and animals. Tessellated tiles both plain and inlaid floor tiles were extensively used.

At Designer Ceramics our production methods have now moved into the new millenium however our attention to design detail and hand decorating are still key factors in producing beautiful tiles to replicate the Victorian era.
