Derby Pottery and Tile's Blue and White Street Tile Letters are often called the "real deal" by many folks. Made to last a lifetime, AND be outside, these encaustic tiles are seen in the city side walks, in front of businesses or homes, just like the original street tiles were used over 100 yrs. ago. Derby Pottery began making these in 2003, and are recognized by their gold outline, inspired by one of the many historical examples in our city. With over 20,000 tiles made BY HAND, each tile is still inspected to ensure the best possible quality so that you too can install outside and become a part of history, for the next 100 years!
