An Acanthus Leaf in Heritage Green: Edwardian Acanthus Caledonian Ceramic Wall Tile

Edwardian Acanthus Caledonian, a deep Caledonian bottle green glazed relief ceramic tile in a 22.8 x 15.2cm format from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Edwardian Acanthus is one of the great relief tiles of the age — its scrolling acanthus-leaf motif recreated from moulds taken during the restoration of Leslie Green's celebrated London Underground stations. In deep Caledonian green, the raised pattern catches the light beautifully, lending an unmistakable period richness to a bathroom, kitchen or fireplace surround.

Each tile is glazed and decorated ceramic with a characterful crackle glaze, so the surface carries a subtle, ever-changing craquelure that softens with age. Measuring a generous 22.8 x 15.2cm, it is designed for interior walls and pairs with the matching Caledonian dado and base trims for a complete, authentically Edwardian scheme.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What grout colour should I use?

For the classic London Underground look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 100 White or 103 Moon White. This crisp contrast highlights the deep green shape and the relief pattern of the Acanthus leaf.

For a subtler, moodier finish, you could use a dark grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 114 Anthracite, which allows the green to dominate without a stark grid pattern.

Does this tile crackle?

Yes. The glaze is designed to "craze" (develop fine hairline cracks) over time. This is a hallmark of authentic Edwardian ceramics. To protect the look, you must seal the tiles before grouting.

Do I need special trims?

To achieve the full period look, we recommend using the Edwardian Caledonian Base (skirting) and Edwardian Caledonian Dado (border) tiles. These perfectly match the bottle green colour and width of the Acanthus tiles.

Can I use this in a shower?

Yes, these tiles are suitable for shower walls. However, because of the crazing, it is essential that they are sealed thoroughly and maintained correctly to prevent water ingress into the biscuit of the tile.

Is it green or black?

The "Caledonian" colourway is a very deep, rich bottle green. In low light, it can appear quite dark, but in natural light, the green tones glow beautifully, especially where the glaze pools in the pattern.

Installation & Care Tips

Installation & care

  • Sealing: The crackle glaze is porous — seal the tiles before grouting, and again after, to protect the crazed surface from staining.
  • Adhesive & Grout: Fix to a sound, dry interior wall with a quality flexible adhesive and grout in a soft, tonal shade. Keep a 3mm joint to allow for the natural size tolerance.
  • Cleaning: Wipe with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner; avoid harsh abrasives and acidic products that can dull the glaze. For interior walls only — not suitable for floors or external use.
