Portuguese Tiles

Collection of hand-painted Portuguese tiles by Gazete Azulejos

Hand-painted Portuguese tiles made in Porto

Gazete Azulejos is a devoted tile studio in Porto dedicated to preserving traditional Portuguese azulejos. We hand-paint faithful replicas of historic designs using classic techniques, creating pieces that feel authentic, not mass-produced.

Our collection is inspired by real references from across Portugal, including patterns documented on historic façades. These tiles work beautifully for kitchens, bathrooms, fireplaces, wall panels, and small decorative projects. We produce to order and ship internationally.

Faithful replicas, traditional techniques

We focus on historic aesthetics and ceramic craft, from line work and shading to traditional textures and finishes. Our goal is to revive Portuguese tile heritage through pieces that are made to last and look right on the wall.

Research and documentation

We don’t just reproduce patterns, we study them. We research traditional Portuguese azulejos across regions and periods, from history and iconography to the ceramic techniques used across centuries. We also document Porto’s tile façades through our ongoing catalog project, Os Azulejos do Porto. This work helps us reproduce designs accurately and share their stories in our blog.

FAQ

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship worldwide and quote shipping based on destination, weight, and the protection level needed.

Can I buy directly on the website?

At the moment, payment is confirmed after we quote shipping and production time for your destination. We send payment details and begin production once payment is confirmed.

Are these tiles handmade?

The tile bodies are semi-handmade dry-pressed ceramic tiles. Each design is then hand-painted by us in our Porto studio using traditional azulejo techniques.

Are these original antique tiles?

No. We create faithful replicas inspired by historic Portuguese designs, helping preserve the originals on façades.
