naturally. )

Porteous
Tiles is a family business that has been making some of the world’s
most beautiful tiles for over 25 years. The tiles are made in
Wellington, New Zealand. The first tiles produced by Porteous Tiles over
25 years ago were reproductions of some of the most iconic designs from
the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts eras (1890-1920).
Tile
production begins with a very high quality semi-porcelain clay chosen
for its beautiful white colour and high firing suitability – this
results in a very high quality tile that is strong, durable and
vitreous. Colour is key with Porteous Tiles.
There is nothing mass-produced or ordinary here.

Porteous Tiles glazes are produced in small batches and tested to
ensure quality and consistency. Tiles are individually made using hand
made moulds and are all hand painted. After firing at high temperature,
tiles are hand sorted to ensure only the best tiles are sent out to
customers. The final product is a tile of exceptionally high quality,
with a beautiful lively individuality, which effects that fact that they
have been produced by hand, by people who love what they do.
Simply put, they are commensurate craftspeople, and both our works compliment the other to the full degree.

The mulberry frame picks up the gold color in the tiles very nicely
The
hardware was chosen to suit the piece; simple, subtle, and linear. Fits
like a glove, especially with the four-square design on them (look
closely) . Courtesy of Craftsman Hardware.
