Sorry to hijack this thread but seeing as TJ & Phil are both on it.
Any idea when these tiles were produced?


Going to clean this up for my friend & had to refit this one tile.
Is this Victorian or Edwardian?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Most likely Victorian in production but if the property is after 1900 installed in Edwardian period.
The Edwardians had smaller houses and simpler scaled designs carried over from the grandious Victorian period. It's done well to be so complete. The fact they've made the design of the border 'fit', the beige/brown colouring and the Scottish location may lead more to the Arts and Crafts movement.

But what would I know - I just fix unglazed porcelain to make up geometric patterns.

Cheers TJ, your a wealth of knowledge, knew you would have the answer.
Waiting on Phil but he will still be drinking his Horlicks.. [emoji1]

I would say late Victorian, as TJ says. Herbert Minton is most well known for using a medieval method of making encaustic tiles, using different coloured clays to make up the pattern. Minton were the most popular of these types.

I hope this helps.

The shape you show I would call an elongated Hexagon.

That's great Phil, when I lifted that tile out I could have sworn it was made of wood.
Strange feel to it.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Lets hope this works

I'm a little in awe of those. How long do they take to do and how do you go about pricing that type of work? Each job is so individual it must be a pain to guestimate!

 

[Stef]

Beautiful work there Phil, I wouldn't know where to begin in laying that out.
