The V&A Tile Collection- Puddle Glazed Tiles Modern production methods and tight quality controls result in uniform tiles of uniform colour. As such, modern tiles have lost the potential beauty and character that their glaze has to offer.
In rich Honey, Peacock, and Olive, these brick format tiles bring back the rich variation and depth of traditional Victorian ceramics. Their translucent glazes melt, puddle & pool across the face of the tile, flowing to varying degrees across the biscuit with a resulting variation in shade. Each tile crackles as it cools and may often 'sing' even after fixing to the wall, adding to its appeal without detracting from its practicality in the modern home.
Used in combination as borders or as an expanse of pure colour, puddle glazed tiles express uniqueness, charm and beauty.
