Tilers N London - experience of handmade tiles

Looking to install some (very) handmade tiles, and wondering if anyone has recommendations of tilers in North London that have lots of experience with handmade tiles?

The tiles are beautiful, though uneven / not flat, etc. due to the handmade nature.

This isn’t going to be possible to get it perfect even with a super competent tiler. You can see the alignment of the pattern on the first two rows of the first column confirms this.

the diamonds in between the flowers line up, but then if you look along to the right, the bottom two rows have the diamond pattern lining up correctly in between the two flowers, but the top tile of the 2nd column has the diamond way out.

I realised my last comment may not make sense so here I have circled in green the ones that line up, yet there are red ones not aligned. So regardless of the skill of the tiler, if the tiles are not exact replicas of each other, they will look uneven and a little off

That's ok, the tiles are not perfect, I'm just looking for a tiler that has experience of laying handmade tiles as some do and some don't. They will need to be laid more by eye than using spacers, so needs to experience.

I think the charm is exactly in those imperfections OP.
