Tile saying
Grandpas arejust antiquelittle boys
FamilyA grandfather described exactly as his grandchildren see him: same appetite for mischief, considerably more mileage. It gets the affection in without ever using the word love, which is why it survives being read aloud.
- The design is fired into the ceramic: colourfast and waterproof.
- Arrived damaged? You get a free replacement.
Where this saying comes from
A greeting-card and sampler phrase rather than a proverb, and no author has ever been credibly attached. It runs on one word, antique, which flatters and teases in the same breath, the way “vintage” does.
When to give it
Father’s Day, a milestone birthday, or the day he officially becomes a grandfather. Best given by the grandchildren themselves, since the compliment only really works coming from the people it describes.
About this design
Delft flower corners and no ring keep three lines readable at arm’s length, which matters for a tile that will end up in a workshop or a hallway. The italic classic serif adds the antique the text promises.
