Delft Touch

Limestone Tiles From Clé Tile

1 MIN READ

The classic blue china known as Delftware actually has Chinese roots but found its way across Europe in the 17th century. These 12-by 12-inch limestone tiles take their inspiration from the 1600s and are available in the traditional blue and white combination. But they’re also made in more modern tones, such as teal, magenta, and persimmon. The tiles are hand-painted or lithographed in holly, tulip/carnation, diamond/circle, fleur de lys, or quatrefoil designs; four 12-inch squares compose a complete design. The tiles can be installed indoors or in some outdoor applications, and on both walls and floors. From Clé, by tile designer Deborah Osburn for Tilevera. www.cletile.com
