Neisha Crosland – BOTANICA

Handmade and hand painted by De Ferranti's exclusive artisans in Sicily, BOTANICA is a collection of 5 terracotta Neisha Crosland tile designs in 2 to 4 colourways each.

Simple and floral organic drawings are stencil printed shapes, hand coloured with a brushwork, watercolour effect onto an earthy, dry biscuit base. Varying degrees of matt to glossy glazed colours on the dry finish, along with the very subtle eggshell crackle texture on the tile itself, give the tiles patina and warmth.

Inspired by Emile Nolde's ivid watercolours of flowers, Can-Can dancing, Persian illuninated manuscripts and the walls in Ottoman harems and Roman villas.
