Twentieth Century Tiles

by Hans Van Lemmen

The tiles of the twentieth century are as diverse and interesting as those of any preceding period but have received only scant attention before now. This book charts the development of these tiles and considers how the manufacturers and designers met technical and artistic challenges. This new title illustrates many of the tiles in colour. Chris Blanchett is a bookseller specialising in tiles and a keen collector of 20th century tiles. He wrote the pioneering essay 'Picture Tiles in the 2oth Century'. About the author Hans van Lemmen was an asscociate lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University. He is an established author on the history of tiles and he is a founder member of the British Tiles and Architecture Ceramics Society. Other titles for Shire by this author are: Tiled Furniture, Architectural Ceramics Ceramic Roofware Delftware Tiles (currently out of print), Medieval Tiles Church Tiles of the Nineteenth Century Victorian Tiles
