This can include wally dugs (china dogs), and wallies (or false teeth). This, in itself, is derived from an older meaning of anything fancy, splendid or highly decorative.

When I'm doing free deliveries around the southside of Glasgow I get to see some amazing tenement close tiles.
I saw these beauties this week in the Cathcart area & thought they were really special.

In the 18th century, tiles were used to decorate the façades of buildings. This gave rise to the Portuguese kitchen tile panels that are one of the hallmarks of Portuguese architecture.

In the 16th century, the tile production technique was improved and mass production began. This allowed tiles to become more accessible and popular, spreading throughout the country.

Tiles were introduced to Portugal by the Moors in the 15th century. Initially they were used to cover walls and floors in palaces and noble residences, but soon spread to churches and other public buildings.

From the tiles that decorate palaces and churches to the simple tiles that cover people's houses, the Portuguese blue tile is an important element of Portuguese architecture and cultural heritage.
