What happens if you break an antique Portuguese tile with a hammer? The tile's many tiny colourful parts spread nicely along parallel curves. Or not. So, maybe, don't try this at home.

(You might need to step back or squint your eyes to see the curves, but they're there.)

Inspired by a visit to the Museu Nacional do Azulejo (National Tile Museum) in Lisbon early this year.
