Glazed tiles

Posted by António Pires (Lisbon, Portugal) on 29 April 2008 in Architecture.

From 1850's up to 1920's (roughly 3/4 of a century) many buildings in Lisbon were covered with glazed tiles. A significant number still exist.
The picture shows one of the patterns used. In this particular case the tiles were made and applied in the 19th century.
Tomorrow I shall post an example of a building covered with such tiles.

Olhar e ver means to look and see.
