Add a pop of personality and Arts-and-Crafts style to your home with these rich, opulent ceramic tiles. I call them "flourishing garden"!

With a very 'William Morris' colour scheme of rich blues and greens, and a tiny pop of blossom pink to liven things up, this design started life as a millefiori design originally created in clay.

A great way to add punch of drama and individuality to a bathroom, kitchen or utility room. They are also available in a larger scale version (see last image)

Please read the description fully to check tile suitability.

  • This listing is for a SINGLE tile
  • 5mm or 1/4 inch thick
  • glossy reflective surface
  • ceramic
  • gently rounded top edge
  • ridged unglazed back
  • require normal tile adhesive and grouting
  • heat printed in my home studio, using my own millefiori designs

These are handmade to order, so a slight variation between each tile is to be expected.

PLEASE NOTE: these tiles are heat printed, which means they will scratch if you drag heavy things over the surface, or scour with abrasive cleaners. Normal cleaning is fine!

They're suitable for :

  • splashbacks in kitchens and bathrooms
  • cubby holes
  • utility rooms -
  • en suite bathrooms
  • guest bathrooms
  • mantel pieces
  • kitchen walls away from direct heat sources
  • decorative fireplace applications (away from heat sources)
  • dining areas.

NOT suitable for

  • outdoors or conservatories
  • areas which are touched by direct flame or high temperatures
  • areas which receive a lot of direct sunlight or UV as the design may fade over the years
  • floors and high-traffic areas
  • not suitable for areas which are regularly scrubbed, bleached or scoured with agressive cleaners. Regular cleaning with non abrasive cleaners is fine!

If you need tiles suitable for these areas, please see my FIRED INK  range, which are hard-wearing tiles for floors, pools, and high traffic / high temperature areas.

Tiles are not great candidates for shipping, being both heavy and fragile! However I have now shipped DoodlePippin tiles all over the world, with remarkably few breakages. 

Making time:  Heat printed tiles made in my studio will take 3-5 days from order to dispatch.

Kiln-fired (Fired Ink) tiles take longer. You can expect them to be dispatched 3-4 weeks after they're ordered.

Your tiles will be sent to the address given by you in your order, (please make sure it's the correct one as parcels sent to the "wrong" address are non-refundable). 

My standard UK shipping is Royal Mail Second Class Tracked for small parcels, and DPD or another parcel courier for larger packages over 2kg. A contact number to enable the courier to get in touch with you is extremely useful and in some cases required.

Royal Mail Second Class aims to get your parcel to you in 3-5 business days (including Saturdays). Obviously Christmas, Easter and bank holidays are a bit more of a lottery! If I know there's a problem or a delay, I will contact you via email to let you know.

International shipping: 

 Unfortunately, since the advent of Covid, the cost of international shipping has gone through the roof. The shipping cost will be based on the weight and size of your parcel. 

Please bear in mind that overseas orders can be subject to unexpected and sometimes very lengthy delays that are outside of my control (eg hold ups in customs). 

​If you are concerned about local taxes and import duties that your parcel might attract, please check with your local tax / import duty authorities before you order.

NB: Shipping to Europe post-Brexit

As of 1st January 2021, shipping items from the UK to European Union countries is unpredictable.
New import duties and other charges are likely to apply. These may include import duties imposed by your local government, and courier charges imposed for collecting and handling these duties.
I know nothing about the tax and import arrangements in your particular area,  and I am not responsible for them. 
No refunds will be issued if your parcel is returned to me as a result of you choosing not to pay legitimate import duties.
If you are worried about having to pay import duty, taxes or courier charges, please check with your local tax / import duty authorities BEFORE ORDERING.

The main difference between my heat printed DoodlePippin tiles, and the kiln-fired 'Fired Ink' version, is in their intended use.

colour wheel
Colour is very subjective at the best of times. And every PC, phone and tablet screen shows colours differently, too.
So if you’re trying to match a particular fabric or colour scheme, or aren't 100% sure, I’d strongly recommend buying a sample before going ‘all in’!
I often include video snippets in listings as I find video in daylight is a better guide to how an item looks “in the flesh". 
_
Bear in mind too, that pieces produced in one week may look subtly (or even markedly) different to those produced a month later.  For example, a sample tile ordered in June is unlikely to be identical to a batch I make in September.
_
 Specifications, designs, colourways and availability are subject to change without notice. 
However I do hold onto old designs, so if you want something and can't see it listed, please contact me.
I make tiles in two different "finishes" - DoodlePippin and Fired Ink. 
They're both normal ceramic tiles, but the design is applied in different ways, making them suitable for different uses / applications. 
DoodlePippin logo

DoodlePippin Tiles
- base is a normal ceramic tile
- the design is heat-printed onto the surface at 200 degrees
- made in my home studio
- available in two or three sizes only
- perfect for decorative use in low traffic areas
- in high UV areas (eg conservatories / outdoors) the design may gradually fade
- accurate reproduction of the colours of the original 'cane'
- not very scratch resistant
- normal non-abrasive cleaning is fine
Fired Ink Logo

Fired Ink tiles
- base is a normal tile - usually porcelain
- the design is kiln-fired onto the surface at 900 degrees
- have to be sent off to be fired
- can be made in a very wide range of sizes, from mosaics to 60cm across
- three different finishes including gloss, satin, and full non-slip
- suitable for all areas, including floors, swimming pools and exteriors
- colours are often more muted than heat-printed originals
- scratch resistant and UV stable
- take around 3-4 weeks from order to dispatch

    I want you to be 100% delighted with your purchase. So if for any reason you are not, please let me know! 

    Below you'll find my general Returns, Refunds and Exchanges policy.

     ________________________________________________

    FAULTY or DAMAGED ITEMS

    If you find there's a problem with your order, please contact me within 7 days of delivery

    Let me know what's happened and what you'd like me to do.

    On faulty items, I offer prompt replacement or a refund as standard. 

    _________________________________________________

    NON-FAULTY ITEMS

    Most of my pieces (including tiles, mugs, chopping boards, coasters etc) are MADE TO ORDER.

    As a courtesy, I do accept returns on most made-to-order pieces. But I reserve the right to charge a 50% restocking fee.

    In other words, you'll get a refund of 50% of the purchase price once I’ve received the undamaged item/s back.​ 

    This is because all returned items have to be checked, photographed, and re-listed - at a discount - as 'ready-made' sale sets. I also have to find somewhere to store them until they are resold.

    (Click here to see where most returns end up

    I operate a different policy with single tile samples. On individual tile samples, I will refund 100% of the purchase price of the tiles once they're back with me. 

    Shipping is non-refundable. 

    Glass Splashbacks: As they are made to order in bespoke sizes, all glass splashbacks are non-returnable and non-refundable. Please check your dimensions carefully before ordering! 

    If you find a fault, or the wrong item has been delivered, please contact me and I'll arrange for a replacement to be dispatched as soon as possible. 

    ________________________________________________

    USE CONTRARY TO GUIDELINES

    Intended use and limitations are clearly stated in the listing.

    For instance, intense heat / flame / abrasives / chemical cleaners may harm decorative finishes.

    Take note of the care instructions / useage guidelines before using or installing your item/s. 

    I can't refund items that have been used, or installed, contrary to their intended use or stated limitations.

    ________________________________________________

      HOW TO RETURN ITEMS

    ​If you have items to return, please... 

    1. Contact me to let me know what's gone wrong and to work out how to proceed. This is because, in a busy studio, an 'unnanounced' parcel may sit unopened for weeks. It may even get unpacked and put away without me knowing.
    2. Send pictures if your items are faulty or damaged. I need these to claim on my postal insurance; refunds can't be issued without them.
    3. Package items to be returned in the the same manner as they were shipped, using the same appropriately protective layers. 
    4. Get proof of postage. I would strongly recommend a tracked service, as I can't refund items that go missing, or arrive damaged.

    I will issue a refund as soon as the piece arrives back safely on my desk, but depending on your payment method, it may take several days for the refund to be processed.

    All round excellence.

    Beautiful tiles. They look fabulous/perfect in my bathroom. Absolutely delighted. Service: second to none! I accidentally ordered the wrong tiles. Ruth very kindly gave me a full rebate, made me the tiles I needed as a priority and sent them urgently as we were on a time schedule. I couldn’t have asked for more. 10/10.

    Beautiful hob splashback

    Lovely tiles used for a hob splashback, Ruth was friendly and helpful when I had a query before ordering and the tiles arrived very promptly and well packed. Am really pleased with how they look now the tiling has been completed, the colours are lovely and I picked a mid blue metro tile for the rest of the tiling which compliments the Flourishing Garden splashback perfectly. Thank you Ruth.

    Thank you so much for the much appreciated review, Isabel - really glad to hear you're pleased. Hope they give you lots of pleasure. All the best, Ruth x

    Beautiful tiles used for hob splashback

    Absolutely love these beautiful hand crafted tiles. Used as a backsplash for the hob & chose rose coloured tiles to compliment. Delighted with my purchase. Also purchased matching chopping boards & tea towels to complete look. Thank you Ruth for creating such beautiful tiles (ps if you did roller blinds in the same pattern, I would have bought those too!!

    Excellent product and excellent service

    I was extremely pleased with the service from Ruth at DoodlePippin - I unfortunately had underestimated the amount of tiles and although they weren’t in stock Ruth helped us to get more. The tiling is now complete and we are ‘over the moon’ with them and have had loads of compliments.

    Thanks so much for the lovely review Dawn - really happy it worked out in the end! x

    Beautiful tiles, wonderful service

    Really pleased with my order. We bought the flourishing garden tiles for our unused fireplace. The tiles are lovely and the design and colours are beautiful. The tiles came quickly and were packaged individually and securely, with a lovely note. We made a mistake with our order, and when we emailed the artist, she was very responsive and corrected the order straight away. Very happy customer. Will be ordering again.
