This pair of corbels depict the face of Bacchus. Covered in a semi-transluscent blue glaze over a red clay, these are very Arts and Crafts. Made to hold up a mantel over a fireplace, these can just as well be mounted to hold a shelf in a kitchen, bath, garden, or wine cellar. Although unmarked, this distinctive clay was used by three companies during this period; Mueller Mosaic of Trenton New Jersey, the Mosaic Tile Company and the American Encaustic Tile Company of Zanesville Ohio. These were never installed, but have a few chips to the high points. One with a chip to the nose and beard, the other with a chip to the ear. A wonderful and rare set.
