Scenic Signed Tile - Mountain Village
The scene shows a man on a burro coming down the streets of a village built on a hill. A church and mountains are in the background. Signed with a conjoined "I B" in the lower left corner. This well executed tile was done in the cuerda seca method (aka wax resist). The tile measures 8" x 3 3/4" - with the frame it measures 8 5/8" x 4 1/2". I have 3 other tiles done by the same artist in stock. Done on a red clay blank - there are no backmarks - age and country of origin are unknown. Generally excellent condition. (#T-1334)

Daniel Zuloaga Spanish Scenic Tile
Daniel Zuloaga is the artist who executed this tile panel. He was an extremely accomplished and important Spanish ceramist (1852-1921). Measuring 8 3/8" x 6 1/4", this raised line design has very pleasing glazes. The scene shows a monk or friar in the main foreground with tall stucco buildings and an arched stone gateway behind him. In the distance is a man riding a burro, a man walking, a cluster of people near the arch and a person in an upper window.
This tile is in generally very nice condition. Three exceedingly minor glaze nips on the edges, and a factory glaze skip in the blue sky. Impressed mark on the back. (#T-1147)

Tile with mythical creature
Interesting subject on this 5 ¾" square tile - some kind of creature with a man’s head, and the body of a lion. Looks like there’s a rat or a mouse on his rump as well! White background with several shades of blue and black outlining, and a semi matte finish. This is in excellent condition. The back is not marked but I suspect this is Spanish from the 1940’s.

Spanish Tile Don Quixote
Unmarked Spanish tile measuring 5 3/8" square. Decorated in the cuerda seca method, the scene is of a man, woman and child serving food to a solider - probably a scene from Don Quixote. Two different numbers on the tile back - minor edge roughness on the tile and a small loss to the lower right corner. Probably circa 1940. (#1577)

Matador and Bull Tile
Great scene of a matador on a horse - a charging bull and a ladies hat. A transfer type process was used for the scene - colors are a bright yellow background with brown, black, white, muted purple and gold. Measures 5 3/4" square. Back is marked with the word "FOREIGN". Maker and age are unknown - my guess would be Spanish. Minor right edge roughness - generally very nice condition. (#1184)
