Quite true, the blue china has certainly influenced the modern tiles used in Portugal.<br />The campus is certainly brighter with such a beautiful mural. I have sent Diogo a link to my post, so hope he reads it.<br />It's also wet here in Perth, been raining on and off since Saturday, but we are in Autumn which is normally the rainy season.Samihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467163627586022816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858901934141711052.post-40787313655702651262016-04-12T23:12:46.540+08:002016-04-12T23:12:46.540+08:00Dearest Sami,

It really looks like tiles and one cannot imagine the huge size of it! When Diogo was standing there, working, it only becomes evident.<br />You know, I was just pondering about history and how cultures are interwoven over the ages. The Portuguese were one of the very first that did trade with the Far East and of course the famous blue china has made an everlasting impact on their future tile work and such. But it is beautiful, always love the house number tiles and decorations. Like on this campus, it adds a very sunny and happy touch to daily life.<br />Thanks for following this and I hope Diogo got your info so he too can see this.<br />Hugs from a wet (pouring down) Georgia,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858901934141711052.post-9906479684503351432016-04-12T11:35:17.462+08:002016-04-12T11:35:17.462+08:00It was great to follow the progress of 5 or 6 of t...It was great to follow the progress of 5 or 6 of the murals.
