Tube-lining is a method of decorating glazed tiles developed in hte late 19th Century
and used extensively during the Arts and Crafts and "Art Nouveau" periods.
It requires a high degree of skill, as the outline of each design is piped by hand on
to each individual tile. Different coloured translucent glazes are then applied - again
by hand - to the spearate areas of the design to create exquisite works of art.
A variant of this process, developed around the same time, was raised-line decoration.
Here the outline was embossed on to the body of the tile before the coloured glazes were
applied. The Stovax Rose and Bud tile panel is a faithful reproduction of this style
using specifically developed modern techniques.
