Fired Earth alternative

[Paul R Cox]

Hi,
I've found crackle glaze metro tiles online that are half the price of Fired Earth but haven't been able to find a company that produces the same kind of pencil edging tile that they do. Has anyone come across such a tile anywhere else? They call it a "pencil" but it's about 25mm high with a slight round.
Worst case I'll go with F.E. but half the cost would be quite a saving. Cheers.

Our sponsor @Brooke Ceramics or possibly Original style?

Have a feeling (but could be wrong) that the Fired Earth Crackle tiles are made by Apeadero in spain. However they supply to many other UK companies so could be worth emailing them to see who your nearest stockist is. They do the flat (Liso) and bevelled (Biselado) in 150x75. I know they also produce Dado tiles even though it doesn't show them on their website, but haven't found a crackle pencil tile unfortunatley:

Thank you, yes I've looked here and most of the major sites and they have the kind of tiles I'm looking for but I can't see the matching edge tile.

Topps Tiles do the Minton Hollins range of crackle glazed with finishing strips. Unsure on the price comparison with Fired Earth though.
