Old New World

A Portuguese sailing ship crosses a sea of cobalt waves beneath the words, “She Sold Everything and Sailed for the Old New World.” Traditional blue-and-white azulejo decoration meets unexpected colour and contemporary storytelling.

Part of the Brave New View Collection, this tile turns the familiar idea of leaving Europe for the New World on its head. For those making the journey in the other direction, an old world can become the beginning of an entirely new life.
