Nell McCloskey was an iconic granny from West Belfast — quick-witted, sharp-tongued, and never afraid to say her piece. In these blue and white Belfast Delft tiles, her stories live on, part of a long tradition where history, memory, and a good yarn are passed down and never forgotten. Our Belfast Delft tiles are true ceramic piece - Kiln fired to 850°C in our Belfast studio each tile begins as an original watercolour sketch by Stephen. Inspired by the iconic blue and white Delftware of the Netherlands, itself influenced by Chinese Ming dynasty porcelain, these tiles blend tradition with a contemporary, playful spirit. Each piece is reflective and experimental. They tell small visual stories designed to spark conversation. Each tile is approx. 10cm x 10cm, and it comes with its own little easel.
