A name tile for that treasured pony or horse mounted on blue card

A name tile for that treasured pony or horse mounted on blue card

The design is taken from a child’s pottery plate made around 1820. It shows a boy looking after his noble pony.

The plate was made in Staffordshire by a method known as Transferware (which is still used today). An engraved image is printed on tissue paper and transferred onto the ceramic surface. On firing, the paper burns away but the image remains. This process is much swifter and cheaper than painting by hand.

This personalised tile can comfortably accommodate up to 12 characters. If the name is slightly longer please contact us so we can check that the name fits before ordering

Fixing Points: One hole: between the two trees and above the cottage

Dimensions: 10.3cm x 10.2cm

Characters Available for Personalised Tiles

Additional Characters: ’ & - ! • (enter • using *)

Daniel will be on holiday from 15th August to 10th September. He makes the personalised tiles but NO tiles will be made during this period.

Personalised tiles are added to stock made for the standard range. We never fire a kiln specially for a personalised tile.
