Advertising Tile for Renaissance
Great hand made tile advertising Renasissance Tile Manufacture. Scroll work and letters are molded in relief - green majolica glaze, white clay - measures 7" x 1 5/8". Shallow chip on right side of top edge. I could find no information on this company - from the use of the word "manufacture" - my guess is it's from England - age unknown. Great paperweight.
