Sculpted Relief in Classic White: Edwardian Acanthus Highgate Ceramic Wall Tile

Edwardian Acanthus Highgate, a soft Highgate white glazed relief ceramic tile in a 22.8 x 15.2cm format from Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.

The Edwardian Acanthus Highgate brings the same scrolling acanthus-leaf relief — recreated from Leslie Green's original restoration moulds — in a serene, timeless white. The raised design reads as gentle light and shadow across the wall, a quietly architectural way to bring heritage character to a period bathroom or a modern kitchen alike.

Glazed and decorated in ceramic with a genuine crackle glaze, each 22.8 x 15.2cm tile has a softly crazed surface that gives depth and age to the clean white tone. Made for interior walls, it coordinates with the Highgate dado and base trims to build a full, considered Edwardian wall.

⚠ Installation & Care Tips

  • 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.

Product Frequently Asked Questions

What grout colour should I use?

For a seamless, bright look, we recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus 100 White. This blends the joints with the tile, making the relief pattern the sole focus.

For a subtle antique definition, try a very pale grey like Mapei Ultracolour Plus 103 Moon White or 110 Manhattan. This gently highlights the individual tile shape without being too harsh.

Do I really need to seal white tiles? Yes.

Because these are heritage tiles designed to craze (crackle), unsealed cracks can absorb dirt or coloured liquids (like shampoo or splashback spills). On a white tile, these stains would be very visible. Sealing prevents this.

Does this match the other "Highgate" items?

Yes. The Edwardian Highgate Base (skirting) and Edwardian Highgate Dado (border) are the exact same gloss white finish, ensuring a perfectly matched architectural wall.

Can I use this in a shower?

Yes, they look stunning in showers. However, because of the crazing, correct sealing is essential to keep them watertight and stain-free.

Is it a bright white or cream?

The "Highgate" finish is a clean, bright white, unlike the "Belsize" or "Cream" variations which have yellow undertones. It creates a very fresh, crisp look.
