MADE BY HAND

ursting with vibrant colours, Maitland & Poate’s latest collection of handmade glazed tiles, from £8 each, let you bring a touch of the Mediterranean into your home. Inspired by antique Italian designs from the 17th century, the tiles are coloured with natural pigments to accurately replicate the authentic palettes of the originals. Crafted by artisans using traditional techniques, each tile is hand-moulded, before being baked to provide a solid base for the meticulous handpainted patterns and detailing. They are then baked twice more and glazed to create a strong, low-maintenance surface that doesn’t need sealing.
