Love these tiles from the entrance to a tenement close on Great Western Road in Glasgow.
A rather beautiful threshold mosaic at the entrance to a commercial property on the ground floor of an 1850s tenemnt on Argyle Street in the Finnieston area of Glasgow.

Decorative Victorian floor tiles in a tenement close in the Hillhead area of Glasgow.
What could be more Victorian than #Minton #tiles? These red and yellow tiles, with their grape-vine pattern, were originally laid during Sydney Smirke's restoration of the Chapter House in York Minster, 1844-45 https://victorianweb.org/art/design/ceramics/minton/34.html
We're grouted!
Now I need to buy some wood strips. Possibly some sink bits.
Love these tenement tiles from the Yorkhill area of Glasgow.
Cela fait longtemps que je n'ai pas profité des murs carrelés dans les climats chauds...
It's been a while since I enjoyed tiled walls in warm climates....
Ha pasado un tiempo desde que disfruté de las paredes de azulejos en climas cálidos...
Don't let me fall apart
I'm working on an art project on the housing crisis in Ireland.
I create ceramic tiles which are placed on the walls of derelict and vacant buildings.
Those are 2 new tiles for the project.
This tile artwork by Maria Keil, "Pastores" (Shepherds) is at the Museu Nacionaldo Azulejo in Lisbon. Walking through the museum, I came across this, which was easily the coolest piece in the gallery.
And that led me down the rabbit hole of wikipedia, where I learned more about this amazing person, who many among other things designed the tile for the Lisbon subway:

Love this beautiful Art Nouveau style tenement tile pattern, featuring Scottish Bluebells. It's from a tenement close in the Pollokshields area of Glasgow.

Here, the metallised tiles are incidental but their colours are more dramatic. There is hot magenta and pink, alongside orange. The mirrored windows capture a distorted, fragmented image of the church opposite, which is heavily embellished with brightly coloured ceramic tiles.
Love these little mosaic flowers in the arboretum of the Glasgow BotanIc Gardrens. They were created as part of a series by Wilma van der Meyden.
