More about Floris by Neisha Crosland:

Handmade and hand painted by De Ferranti's exclusive artisans in Sicily, FLORIS is a collection of 9 terracotta Neisha Crosland tile designs in 37 colourways, with different shapes and sizes.

Florals, curly geometrics and tendrils are applied by hand, at times guided by an intricate stencil. The maker uses a fine bristle brush to capture every detail. These tiles are further enhanced by their earthy, raw looking base - the glazed pattern on each matt finish creates and exuberant tactile effect.

'For this collection, I looked at Spanish tin-glazed earthenware, in particular pharmacy jars of 1450 and bottles, or Refredador as the Spanish called them, from the first half of the 16th Century. Some had lustreware glazes which i particularly liked.'

'There is a soulful old-world feel to the tiles, also reminiscent of 15th Century Persian and Chinese Ming 7th Century Tang Dynasty as well as 3300 BC Neolithic. I wanted the glazes to be as rich as 15th Century old imperial blue and 13th Century celadons, and the neutrals to have the softness of old Neolithic stoneware.'
