American Encaustic Tiling Company Inkwell
Nice pottery inkwell made by the American Encaustic Tiling Company, of Zanesville, Ohio, as an advertising piece, for their company. The inkwell has an area for two pens to rest (near the front), and two wells for ink - the lids are missing. The AETCO logo, within a circle, sits between the two wells. Super light blue high glaze. This measures just shy of 6" across, 5" from back to front, and sits about 1 1/2" high. My best guess is that this was made around 1930 - 1940. In excellent condition. This would be great for pens and paper clips on a desk. (#T-1877)

American Encaustic AETCO Advertising Pottery Inkwell
This outstanding ceramic inkwell was made by the American Encaustic Tiling Company, of Zanesville, Ohio, as an advertising piece, for their company. The inkwell has an area for two pens to rest (near the front), and two wells for ink, with the original pottery lids. The AETCO logo, within a circle, sits between the two wells. The logo is faint because the glaze was so heavily pooled. done in varying shades of blue, with tints of gold showing up in places, the glaze is truly wonderful. This measures just shy of 6" across, 5" from back to front, and sits about 1 1/2" high. Dating the pottery made by AET is tricky; my best guess is that this was made around 1930 - 1940. The well, and the two lids, are in excellent condition. (#T-1466)

Antique Advertising Pottery Pen Holder for Tile Company
This great advertising piece for Sajan & Company looks like it's a pen or pencil holder, but certainly doubles as a paperweight. The top says "Suppliers to Govt P.W.D. and Native States", then under Sajan & Co, "Fort No 1 Bombay Merchants & Contractors". The sides say "English Floor Wall Tiles Mosaic Tiles All Building Materials AT Moderate Rates".
Made on a dust pressed blank, this hexagonal ceramic piece measures 4 1/2" from point to point, and just under 4" to the flat sides. A fabulous green majolica glaze covers the words, done in intaglio technique. I believe Sajan & Company was located in India - and this piece certainly has the feel of something from circa 1900, but that's just an educated guess. There are some small glaze nips to the outside edges, and only the most minor of wear on the face. Generally in very nice condition- what an unusual piece for a tile or pottery collection, and an example of historical memorabilia. (#T1126)
