✦ Synopsis

A non-destructive study of post-mediaeval glazed tiles from Bottesford in Leicestershire, UK, was carried out using Raman spectroscopy. The dark-blue glazed tiles are unique to this region and there is little information available about the colouring or pigment used in their construction.
