Classic
English Tiles
Fennel, Tarragon and Pebble all 4 1/8“.
CAs England’s foremost producer of hand crafted
designer tiles, we continue to make our tiles in the
historic city of Exeter, in the county of Devon.
The art of making tiles
Everything we produce is unique and the culmination of generations of
experience from our team of highly skilled artists, designers and craftsmen.
The tiles are produced using fine, quality raw materials and carefully
controlled manufacturing techniques, honed over many years, to create
this beautiful hand crafted Classic Collection.
In the beginning tiles are called ‘bisques’ – blank canvases, bearing nothing
but our name indented on the undecorated flip side. Subsequent changes
involve manufacturing processes such as the application of special glazes
and the addition of hand-painted colours by skilled artists. Some tiles are
then fired as many as three times to achieve the required effects. Due to their
hand crafted nature, the surfaces of the tiles undulate gently, allowing natural
shading to occur. These distinctive yet subtle variations in shade within each
tile, moulding and border give a wonderful impression of depth to tiled areas.
The charm of all things handmade, hand painted or hand finished is that
no two pieces will ever be identical – and that’s the secret of the success
of The Winchester Tile Company.
A wealth of choice
Turn the pages for inspiration for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, garden
rooms and utility areas – choose from hand painted designs of luscious
fruit and flowers, classical English Delft, gentle rural scenes and cheerful
characters, and field and half tiles in colours from pale and interesting
neutrals to strong, bright colours.
Sizes range from 105 x 105 x 10mm (4 1/8” x 4 1/8” x 3/8”) to 127 x 127 x 10mm
(5” x 5” x 3/8”), with half tiles 127 x 63 x 10mm (5” x 2 1/2” x 3/8”), borders and
mouldings to co-ordinate and enhance your selection.
