Certainly do!
Long time since I’ve dry laid a floor before fixing.

You can try but it’s around the corner of the shower tray out of sight! Only had 2 tiles left so stuck a cut in out of sequence.
I reckon the grout lines form an integral part of the laid out design for these particular "encaustics". The earlier Victorian geometric and encaustic tiling was designed to be butt jointed but I would say these modern tiles were not. Certainly if you compare the photos of those fixed to the bathroom floor with grout lines and the illustration of the layouts it seems they definitely benefit from a well defined grout line.

Customer wanted narrow joint but in line with BS. she got 2mm. Laid with fast set flexible adhesive on hardi prepared wood floor.
Original encaustics/geometrics laid into sand/cement bed onto solid floors so butt joints were possible.

I hope that's not plywood lining on the floor, especially if it's going to be tiled over. If so it no longer conforms to British Standards for floor tiling. It would need to be a backer board to comply nowadays.

Wow I never realised that!
Just as well I stated ‘ onto a hardi prepared’ wood floor.
