I have a customer in British Columbia ,Canada,
who is looking to replace quite a few damaged fireplace and trim tiles

in a late 1800s structure that was recently moved to a historical park/
museum location
they are fleur de lis relief tiles with what looks to be a decorative
sponge white /blue mottle glaze.
I can do this but it isn't quite up my alley .

does anyone on list know someone who might do this type of thing and do
it well?

Likely the originals were dust pressed ,tho the reproductions needn't
be.

Also I am curious, is anyone out there doing dust pressing on a studio
scale????
using the old flywheel technology?
Perhaps someone in Great Britain?

just wondered...
I haven't come across anyone who is
