Cheers Frank, reckon your right as they are not uncommon in the houses where i live, its a medieval town.Ive only seen about 4 differrent types of these tile here so whether there was different factories making each style or one making them all i dont know unfortunately they normaly get discarded during renovation as old Spanish town houses consist of many small rooms so when they are bought for renovation most people knock walls down to open the house up so even if the same tile has been used from room to room once the wall has been pulled down the pattern cant be pieced in.Any ideas on cleaning them up?

I always find Wikipedia a great ( but not as great as TF!) source of info
Encaustic tile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Yes they're our Victorian type encaustics with inlaid clay, most other countries of the world produce cement encaustic tiles. Cement tiles are really nice but highly sensitive to acids and high alkaline cleaners unless of course you want to change the colour of the tiles.
