Gorgeous hand painted ceramic tile coasters , using my unique Persian glazes ... always inpired by nature & each one full of personality !”

All my tiles are designed & hand painted by me with love in my Cotswold Treehouse studio as seen in our Channel 4's Grand Designs home @grandesignstreehouse.

I have created my own unique beautiful Persian style glazes over many years , these glazes are vibrant , glossy with real depth of colour .
Always inspired by the natural world around us , I create designs of creatures all with their own personality & as each tile is hand decorated , each one is different which means each tile is an unique piece of art for you to own or give with love !
The abstract brightly coloured patterned tile coasters are particularly brought to life by the Persian glazes.

Each design is first drawn by hand on to the tile & then carefully painted with all the different glaze colours – the glazes in their pre-fired , raw state are a completely different colour to once they have been fired .
The glazes have a lovely crackle surface which is entirely due to the nature of the glaze , indeed it is normally considered a highly decorative advantage , they are fine to use as drinks coasters.
As the coasters use a highly specialized glaze they are not suitable for the dishwasher .
There may be slight variations in colour, shade, design and minor imperfections which are characteristic of these tiles because of their unique glazes and the hand-painting process.

Dimensions : 96mm diameter x 6mm .
