anyone used tear drop shaped tiles? How did you find them? What are general opinions on the finished look? Thanks

Apologies just been informed they are aka arabesque?!

fixed loads of them in the early 1980's in kitchens, bigger sizes on the floors but they dated very quickly, depending on your use for them they do make a striking feature but the the colours would have to be spot on for dating longevity.

with some handmade ones

I'd nearly forgotten them! they make me feel queasy if not spaced really accurately, std tiles can be out by mm's and are 'just wrong' rather than vomit inducing.

Yes walls and floors in the old days. Before wet cutters.

Hahaha I presume they aren't a hit then! Just trying to find something for a large shower walk. Bored of large format & metros
