Antique Porcelain Tile Plaque
This magnificent porcelain plaque is European in origin, probably dating around 1900, perhaps a tad earlier. This hand painted piece depicts a peasant girl looking down at coins in her hand and on the table. She is surrounded by the utilitarian furnishing in the house. Signed in the lower right corner by the artist. Plaque measures 9 3/4" x 7 1/8". The period frame (perhaps original to the piece), is wood and gesso. The frame has some wear, chips to all outside corners, a wear spot to the middle of the left edge (with the gold near the plaque) and the top right corner. The plaque itself is in outstanding condition. (#T-1068)

Antique German Stove Tile Panel with Musical Cherubs
This self framed large panel has a scene with seven cherubs playing musical instruments. There's a cello, several violins, a xylophone, a flute, a horn, and a singer. This is meant to imitate a tropical atmosphere - see the bamboo or palm type vegetation and the beads around the neck of one cherub. The molded design uses an effective combination of low, medium and very high reliefs. Made in Germany, by Mugeln, this was part of a German stove panel, circa 1880 - 1890. There is a factory repaired chip on the right edge, and two very small chips (colored in) on the self framing edge. This has a very attractive medium brown majolica glaze. This large panel measures 16 1/2" long by 9 3/4" wide by just shy of 1" thick. In extremely nice condition. (#T-1505)

Hand Painted Antique Porcelain Plaques
Beautifully detailed, hand painting on this pair of porcelain plaques. Each plaque measures 15 3/4" tall by 8 3/4" wide. Total size with frame 18 1/2" by 10 1/2". European in origin, circa 1880, unmarked. Both plaques are signed by the artist, one in the lower left corner, the other in the lower right corner. The scenes are elegant ladies of the period, dressed in their finest. One appears to be outside of a church or chapel, carrying a rosary. The other appears to be opening a letter of gift, and is wearing a chatelaine. The plaque at the chapel has one long crack, running horizontally across the piece (about 2" up from the bottom), and glued together. The fortunate thing is that the crack is not tremendously noticeable from the front. A professional restoration would easily make this invisible. (#T-1070)

Chinese Tile - Musical Procession
This hand made tile has a wonderful scene - two musicians (playing a flute and a stringed instrument), and two other Chinese ladies - one carrying a ceremonial basket on a pole and the other carrying a hanging bird (crane like). Measuring about 7 1/4" square, with a touch a variation since the tile is not perfectly square. The figures are incised, and the tile has pleasing muted semi matte glaze colors of a dark gold to brown, green, navy blue and cream. This is #4 of 4 of a series; this one has a navy blue background. Excellent condition. Unmarked, age unknown but I suspect these might be from the late 20th Century. (#T1326)

Antique Stove Tile - Sailing Ship with Majolica Glaze
This great tile panel originally came from a German stove. It depicts a three masted sailing ship and features an outstanding brown majolica glaze. The design is executed in very high relief - in places as much as 1/2". This large, heavy panel measures 12" long by 8 5/8" wide, by just shy of 1 1/2" thick. Made in Germany, by Mugeln, this dates around 1880 - 1890. This has a self framing edge - and was cut from a larger panel. There is a tight hairline developing on the top edge which goes onto the tile face through the self framing edge (above the right most mast). This flaw will be nicely concealed when this tile is mounted or framed. There are a few minor edge flakes, and a few small nips to high points. All in all, still in very nice condition. (#T-1506)

Four Tile Cattail Panel by American Encaustic
This 4 tile vertical panel was made by the American Encaustic Tiling Company, of Zanesville, Ohio around 1890. Each tile measures 6" square, and is done in a brownish green majolica glaze. The four tiles display nicely together, however note that the pattern on the top and second tiles don't match up exactly. There would have been another tile in the pattern between these. All tiles are in very nice condition, with only the most minor edge wear. There is an extra tile with the set - that is a duplicate of the second tile from the top (for a total of 5 tiles). We have a 3 tile cattail panel in a lime green glaze as well. (#1477)

Tube lined sailing ship panel - signed
This hand made panel depicts sailing ships on the water. The bottom tile shows the reflection of the sails on the water. The tiles are tube lined, aka squeeze bag technique. The high glaze colors are very pleasing: beiges, blues, greens, and browns, with the outlining (squeeze bag) done in black. The artists name is at the bottom right, Bond. Although I do not know specifically who this is, the tiles are well executed. I suspect this is from the 1940s, and looks to be American. The panel, with the black wood frame, measures 19 ¼ " tall by 7 1/8" wide. It is made up of three 6 tiles. The condition is excellent. (#T-1255)
