Tube Line Tiles

In the middle of the Edwardian art nouveau design was very fashionable and new tile designs were introduced very frequently, these artistic limited edition tiles were made in the tube line technique and were about double the price of similar moulded tiles. Tube line tiles were also often made as one-offs, for special protects where moulding majolica tiles was not cost effective and sample tiles which would then be moulded, some tube line tile designs were also sometimes later moulded with added background detail if the design proved to be very popular.
Tube line is also sometimes called slip trailed which is not really correct but perhaps helps to picture the process in action. Tube line is generally misunderstood and misused, very many people erroneously describe moulded majolica tiles as tube line even in some of the standard literature. For a more detailed description see this page.

The outstanding features of tube line tiles are rarity and the most brilliant colours and glazes.
