Description

The Gysinge tile is a beveled tile for bathrooms and kitchens of a model that was common in Sweden in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Several Swedish tile manufacturers existed at the time, including Ekeby Bruk in Uppsala.

What distinguishes Swedish tiles from international models is that Swedish tiles are usually square, not rectangular, and that the tiles come in so many parts, including half tiles, borders and moldings, that you can create a complete set.

The tile is thick and strong and has a vibrant surface, because it is made by hand and fired in old kilns. The glazing is also done by hand, which further enhances the rustic impression. All tiles are labeled “Gysinge” on the back.

Swedish-made handmade tile. White glazed by hand. Width 15cm, length 15cm, thickness 12mm, thickness edge 9mm
