As you peruse these tiles, I want to express to you that these are all functional, so you will see chips, staining, sun glares, dirt, and the like.

Wow. Nice patterns. Are you sure they are Portuguese based? I see similar patterns here in PH.
There is a lot of Moorish influence in Portugal, so some of the patterns are inspired by those times. I know that Portugal is a mix of different things for sure! <3
How gorgeous are these pictures!!! I loved azulejos art when I visited Lisbon. Loved some inside the Pasteis de Belem shop in Belem. I had not seen those of yellow and green combined. Gorgeous!!!
These are absolutely gorgeous. I have this weird thing where when I see tiles like this it always reminds me of Chili’s tables. I guess I spent too much time in that restaurant when I was little. But they do look beautiful.
Ha! I totally see what you are saying with the tables!
I loved all the gorgeous tiles in Portugal. I took soooo many pictures, I couldn’t get enough of it. I agree with you the chips and stains make the tiles special.
Yes! The tiles were so lovely, and they were so different. Portugal is so gorgeous!!
