plain coloured tiles

Victorian Ceramics specialises in deep, intense Victorian glazes. The glazes are formulated in-house to complement the designs from the William Morris, William De Morgan and Philip Webb collections.

Plain Coloured Tiles

Our glazes are based on original Victorian and Edwardian glaze recipes. Hand glazing ensures subtle variations in colour across each tile and from tile to tile providing the authentic look of period tiles. The life and individuality of our tiles makes every order entirely unique to each customer.  As in original tiles of the period crazing is a normal feature of these glazes.

Traditional Victorian Colours

The traditional Victorian and Edwardian glaze colours are based on a small and recognisable palette of colours as shown below.  A distinctive feature of these tiles is the sharp edge which allows the tiles to be set with a ‘tight’ grout joint or touching (butt jointed) as seen in original tiling.
