tiles

Hi was wondering if anyone has any info on some tiles i have acquired,
the images on them appear to tell a story?
unsure if English or European?
they have been mounted on board so unfortunately i am unable to see reverse side for any info.
size approx 16 x 9 inches complete
thanks

 

I don't think there's a narrative. Each seems to represent a different occupation. That's about all I can say, except welcome. There are others who will know more about the tile itself.

 

Thanks for reply, interesting!!

 

Spanish, from Barcelona, I think. It is typical for Catalan tiles to show professions, these look new...

 

Here an old one: http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O96227/tile-unknown/

 

This is how they were originally used, to show your profession, and that you were a member of an 'associació', an association or guild:

 

Thanks for info, so there spanish, 20th century and fairly common items?

 

Together they would make a nice tiled surface for a small table or plant stand.
