Rare Pink Antique Tile of a Young Girl
Pink is one of the rarest glaze colors found on antique tiles - and this particular color is lovely. The tile, done in intaglio technique, depicts a young girl with a blanket. There's a small "c" copyright symbol in the lower right corner. The self framing edge is raised in bullnose type relief. The maker of this wonderful tile is Hemixem, in Belgium, circa 1900. Minor wear to the top of the bullnose edge, and higher points on the tile face - small chip to bottom edge, and two really tiny chips on the right edge. Generally - this is in very nice condition.

Front and back covers have bends and a creasing of the pages in the very most upper inside cover. Bends to the covers and interior pages good - ex-library with an impressed stamp on the cover page. Still nice and usable.

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)

Antique Stove Tile - putti and pottery
For pottery collectors, the subject matter of this tile just doesn’t get any better! Shows a young boy hugging and kissing a large pot. Done in a blue to bluish green majolica glaze - this oval tile would probably have been originally used for ornamentation in a parlor stove. Dating from circa 1890, this is molded in extremely high relief. Country of origin not known, but probably English. Measures 8" x 4 ¾". Back side has chipping. There is a crack which extends down from his front foot to the tile edge, runs horizontally then goes back up near his other foot. The front surface and relief work are in excellent condition.

Antique Tile Plaque with Putti and Fire
This outstanding antique ceramic tile plaque is oval in shape - which is unusual. The scene shows three cherubs near a small bonfire - you can see the smoke curling up from the fire. In the background to the right is a tree, and behind them is what looks like draped curtains. The majolica glaze is a blue green and heavily pooled at the top - some crazing can be seen in this heavily pooled area when the tile is tipped to show the shine. The figures are molded in very nice relief. This measures 7 3/4" in width and 6 3/4" from top to bottom. There are two factory holes in the back at the top, used for hanging. There is some wear to the glaze on the back, and only the absolute most minor of wear to two highpoints on the front side. Generally in extremely nice condition. Unmarked, probably English, definitely circa 1880. (#T-1067)

Antique Portrait Tiles by AET
There is a wonderful chocolate brown glaze on this matched pair of portrait tiles made by the American Encaustic Tiling Company (Zanesville, OH), circa 1890. The relief is extremely high. Each tile is 8" square, and has the early AET mark on the back. The condition is very good. There are no problems on any of the high relief areas of the portraits - which is unusual. There are 2 small areas of professional restoration on the female - on the upper edge of the circle over her head, and in the bottom left corner. The male tile has one small area of restoration on the circle edge over his head. Marvelous portrait tile pair - would look exceptional framed! (#T-1054)

Antique Stove Tile - Rare Color
This is a large stove tile in a very unusual mint green color. I've never seen this color before! Measures 3 1/2" in diameter, relief is medium to low. This is a portrait of a woman, facing left. Unmarked. Small glaze nips under the hole, on the left edge, and to a couple higher areas - the stuff under her eye is gone (it was dirt!). There is a chip out of the back, which does not affect the tile face. Center bolt hole was used to attach this to a parlor stove - circa 1880.
