This proud fellow, admiring his reflection in the mirror, was responsible for
the creation of these Web pages; being the commission of Kris.
Anyone who has spent a memorable night at
Port Meirion,
Wales, knows the
indelible impression
left by the
cries
of their wandering peacocks.
He adorns the entrance hall of a modest house in
England. The idea of a peacock theme in the house was originally established by
Villeroy Bosch "Paon" bathroom tiles.

Set into an inner porch door, facing North, the glass colours are chosen
to be a mixture of pastels and swirls. The orange glass has a distinct
mother of pearl irridescence on one side. The background glass was
specially imported from Belgium for its particular pattern.
The hall was retiled in Colorker "Color Oct" large (33cm) off-white tiles with a
bright red (27mm) taco inset. The tacos echo the 'eyes' on the peacock's
tail while being a close match to the red glass in the birds' beaks. Out of the many
samples trawled by the tile supplier this was the only pair that fitted the
possibilities allowed by the prototyped glass colours.
