Poppy And Wheatsheaf Border (with wheat) On County White Ceramic Wall Tile

One carries the ears of wheat alongside the poppies; the other has the poppies alone. The wheat version is the busier and more traditionally Victorian of the two; the version without it reads quieter and sits more easily in a contemporary room. They share the same County White ground and the same 152 x 152mm format, so they can be alternated along a single run if you want a rhythm to the border.

Individually. They are packed five to a box, but you order the exact number of pieces your scheme needs rather than a whole box — which matters with decorated tiles, since most schemes want a precise count rather than a round one.

Measure each straight run in metres and divide by 0.152 to give the number of border tiles, then add one corner tile for every angle the border turns. Set the decorated run out first and work the plain field tiles to it, so the pattern lands centrally and any cut falls in a corner rather than mid-motif. Ring us with your measurements if you would like us to check the count.

A nineteenth-century floral pattern — poppies and ears of wheat drawn in the naturalistic style the Victorians favoured for fireplace and washstand tiles. It is printed onto the same County White ceramic ground used across the plain Artworks range, so the decorated pieces sit against the field tiles without a shift in tone.

Every Artworks piece is finished in the same County White glaze, so field tiles, half tiles, mouldings, skirtings and wrapping pieces are designed to be used together. As with any glazed ceramic there can be slight variation between production batches, so we recommend ordering everything for a scheme at the same time.
