Each 14.8 cm square card features a high quality photo of a single tile, and come with its own envelope. You can buy them individually (£3 each), or in sets with four (£10) or eight (£16) different tiles.
For those who are interested, I've just added greetings cards featuring photographs of these rather wonderful art nouveau tiles from Glasgow tenements to my online shop at www.thisismyglasgow.com/product-cate....
