These tiles are a type of Moroccan tile ♡

Moroccan tiles are based on those used in mosques, featuring a slightly exotic and mysterious design.

The shape of Qarabell tiles, with their beautiful curves, is distinctly Moroccan.

What are the characteristics of Qarabell tiles?

Qarabell tiles have a distinctive glazing method, making them smooth and shiny while also giving a slightly antique feel, which is adorable ♩

They are often used on the walls of washrooms.

The manufacturer "Nagoya Mosaic" seems to be well-known.

They are relatively large, measuring about 6 cm × 5 cm, so they have a presence that fits in the palm of your hand ◎

They are sold in craft stores and miscellaneous goods shops, and if you are not particular about the manufacturer, the price ranges from about 40 yen to 500 yen per piece, making it possible to obtain them at a small price.
