These pale green and blue tiles have a classic 'William Morris' feel, featuring a flourish of leaves and a rich blue flower.

This is an original design - like all my patterns it started life as a millefiori pattern originally created in clay.

The slightly distressed nature of the retro design will add some age and character to any bathroom, kitchen or utility room.

About the technique:

All DoodlePippin pieces are created in my garden studio just outside London. I'm a polymer artist, and I specialise in clay techniques inspired by disciplines such as Japanese sword-making and Italian glass work.

The design on these tiles was created using a very ancient glassworking technique called 'millefiori', which has been around since the 6th Century. In fact, pieces made using this technique were found in the Anglo Saxon / Viking burial hoard at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk, England.

If you have any questions I'm always happy to chat - please contact me.
