The way she looks straight down the lens. Pet on a Tile turns your own photograph into a blue-and-white, azulejo-inspired portrait, framed with a border created by the Portuguese Tile Society design team, with their name lettered into the tile itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose your photograph, add their name, explore our Portuguese-inspired borders, and see your tile come to life before you order. Your finished ceramic tile is then made to order in Porto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur digital design process, MEMÓRIA, uses AI-assisted image generation together with border artwork and design elements developed by our own team, reimagining your photograph in the visual tradition of Portuguese azulejos. The artwork is created digitally. The tile itself is made and finished in Porto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.

Add their name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType the name you want on the tile. It is lettered into a banner beneath the portrait, in the same cobalt blue as the rest of the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Upload your photograph\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose the photograph you would like to transform. Clear, well-lit images generally give the best results, and a photo where you can see their eyes gives the best portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Select Generate Artwork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYour photograph will be digitally reimagined in our blue-and-white azulejo style, paired with your chosen border and their name.

The name tells everyone else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir name is lettered into a banner beneath the portrait, in the same cobalt blue as the rest of the tile. It is part of the painted artwork rather than an engraving or a label added afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShort names sit best. Bruno. Luna. Nossa Mimi. There is room for a name and a pair of years if you want one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Border\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of our borders was created by the Portuguese Tile Society design team, drawing inspiration from the decorative traditions and distinctive character found throughout Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLisboa\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElegant and understated, Lisboa uses fine cobalt lines and ornamental floral corners to frame your photograph without overwhelming it. Its open design gives your image plenty of room to remain the focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePorto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur most elaborate border. Deep cobalt scrollwork, sculptural curves and a richly ornamented inner frame draw on the dramatic Baroque character found throughout Porto. A beautiful choice for photographs that call for a more decorative, traditional presentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlgarve\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA geometric border inspired by the Moorish influence that remains an important part of southern Portugal's architectural and decorative heritage. Cobalt blue, white and warm ochre come together in repeating stars and interlocking forms for a style quite different from our more botanical borders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBraga\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraceful scrolling foliage surrounds the photograph in a lighter interpretation of traditional Portuguese ornament. Braga combines Baroque-inspired curves with an open botanical design, giving it an elegant character without the heavier framing of Porto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNot Every Pet Is a Dog\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe azulejo tradition has never been fussy about its subjects. Portuguese tiles carry saints and sea battles, but they also carry chickens, cats, swallows and sardines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo bring the greyhound, the rescue mutt, the cat who tolerates you, the horse, the rabbit, the parrot who swears. Pale fur, dark fur, one eye, three legs. If the photograph is clear and you can see their face, it will make a tile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFor the One You Miss\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of these tiles are made for a pet who is asleep on the sofa right now. Others are made for one who is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tile does not fade, and it does not sit in a folder you have to be brave enough to open. It goes on a wall, and their name goes with it. If you want dates on the name plate, there is room for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no rush on a tile like this. Take the time to choose the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade to Order in Porto\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour artwork is created digitally using our own border designs, then made to order as a ceramic tile in Porto, Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in three square sizes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10 × 10 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15 × 15 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e20 × 20 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery design is shown to you before you order, so you can choose the photograph, border and name combination that feels right to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed Something More Custom?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes one photograph is not the whole story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerhaps you would like two pets on one tile, a background changed, a collar or a toy added, a favourite walk worked into the scene, or a piece designed across several tiles. Or perhaps the only photograph you have is not good enough and you would rather a person worked on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's where our Artist Designed Custom Tiles begin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of generating the design yourself, you work with our design team. Tell us what you have in mind and send us your photographs or inspiration. Our artists develop your concept and send you 2 to 3 design proposals within 3 to 5 business days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with a €10 design deposit, which is credited toward your final order. Nothing goes into production until you have selected your preferred design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/portuguesetilesociety.com\/pages\/custom-tiles\"\u003eExplore Artist Designed Custom Tiles\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portuguese Tile Society","offers":[{"title":"10 x 10cm","offer_id":57997794148734,"sku":"PET010","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 x 15cm","offer_id":57997794181502,"sku":"PET015","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 x 20cm","offer_id":57997794214270,"sku":"PET020","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2754\/8542\/files\/custom-pet-portrait-tile-rabbit-lisboa.png?v=1789059310","url":"https:\/\/portuguesetilesociety.com\/products\/pet-on-a-tile","provider":"Portuguese Tile Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
