Product Description
For centuries, tiles have been a staple of Spanish design and decor. Selected from rare l9th- and early-20th-century manufacturers’ catalogs, the exquisite full-color tile designs in this splendid collection display a host of patterns, many revealing striking Moorish influence. Predominantly blue, green, red, and brown with white backgrounds, the tiles incorporate stylized flowers, leaves, and other plant forms, abstract and geometric figures, stars, suns, and other richly decorative patterns. Artists, designers, and craftspeople will find these magnificent, permission-free designs illuminating, instructive, and ideal for any project that calls for repeat patterns. 97 full-color designs from varied sources on 24 plates. 48pp. printed one side only.

reviews
spanish tiles 
The whole book has nothing but photographs of tile designs, and that was what I was looking for. Our multi-disabled children are studying Spain and we used ideas from that book to paint tiles. Thank you very much.

Spanish Tile Book
This book gives a wide variety of authentic Spanish tile designs – with no writing. The pictures are printed on only one side, quality, hi gloss paper, and is truly a beautiful book – far exceeded my expectations. I purchased it as reference because I was designing a Spanish tile design quilt. Very helpful.
