Yes. My home was built after the war, in the late 40s, quickly b/c there was a housing shortage at that time.
I have a beautiful, original tiled bathroom - some of the tiles were chipped and I wanted to have them replaced - called a reputable tiler that came highly recommended (tiling is a highly skilled craft) - he absolutely admired the tiling in my bathroom, said it was done extremely well, carefully and was very precise - said “tiling like that isn’t done any longer unless you want to pay thousands of dollars for it!”
Unfortunately, I was unable to have the tiles replaced and had to have new tiling installed.
You should see the difference of having to cut into tile work from the 40s and 50s versus cutting into this modern work, it is amazing, one is well installed and one is weakly installed, tile used to be seen as practically permanent, we look at a 1920s home and rightfully expect the tile to be perfect and it is, but today’s tile work........
