Lovely blue-orange design ceramic tile, with a slightly rustic "Spanish farmhouse" feel to it. This is the "spiky centre" version - there's also a "flower centre" version.

This listing is for a set of tiles - choose from 10, 20, 50 or 100.

Unfortunately it's not possible to order single tiles in the Fired Ink range - as I have to send them off to be made, there's a minimum order of £100.

I find video is the best way to see what tiles "really" look like - please just email if you'd like to see a short clip or some additional photos.

Quick info:

6mm or 1/4 inch thick
glossy reflective surface
ceramic
gently rounded top edge
ridged unglazed back
require normal tile adhesive and grouting
kiln fired professionally

These are handmade to order, so a slight variation between each tile is to be expected. Variations between batches may be even more marked - try to get all the tiles you need in one batch.

PLEASE NOTE: these tiles are kiln fired with my designs.

This means they are:

frost proof
UV safe
Non-scratching
Suitable for high-traffic areas and floors (non-slip version available)
Safe to use in high temperatures (up to 1292F / 700 C)
Resistant to Chemicals

They are also available in a wide range of sizes from mosaics to 60x60cm (24x24 inch).

Suitable for floors
Suitable for outdoors, patios, conservatories and pools
Suitable for hob splashbacks / near direct flame
Suitable for hearths and working fireplace surrounds.

If you have any questions I'm always happy to chat - please contact me.

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 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 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 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
