About This Design
Mermaid and Merman Art Nouveau Tile
Stunning image of a mermaid and merman. This glowing lime-green image shows the romantic aquatic couple floating under the sea. This vintage Art Nouveau design was found on an antique platter made of Uranium glass--sometimes called vaseline glass. In the late 19th century, powdered Uranium ore was mixed with glass to give it a faint light green tint. It fell out of favour in the early 20th century when electric lighting became more common. Sunlight gives it a slightly glowing, appealing look--but electric lighting gives it a garish, unattractive look. The government claimed all Uranium for obvious reasons in the early 40s, which ended all use in glass at that time. At some point, somebody discovered that shining an ultraviolet black light on Uranium glass makes it glow a pretty spectacular glowing green colour, due to the excitement of the Uranium atoms! The old glass has become collectable and popular again for this reason. Fun to find in thrift stores.

Really nice image fixed to the tiles in my shower as a background to a soap dish. This was to hide the marks left by a broken soap dish. Just used tile adhesive and white grout. I think it looks good, almost like the drips are falling from the soap dish. No probs. Nice image.

My heart skipped a beat when I found this collection of Art Nouveau designs. I have created a fireplace where there was none. Amazing. The tiles were exactly as depicted
