Here is another beautiful, large decorative old tile by the Flint Faience Company of Flint Michigan. Graced with a Persian inspired design, the coloring and glazing are top notch, as is the norm with this company. It is a shame they closed down in 1933 to make spark plugs. The condition is very good, with one small chip to one corner, and a thin layer of mortar on the back.

A fine, clear, deep green glaze is the predominant color of this special tile. The design is tubelined, which means the image is all drawn by hand, much the same as a decorator would a cake. It is a long and laborious process, and makes each tile unique. The design on this one is of twining stems, flowers and leaves. It is a very pretty image on a fine old English tile. There is one glaze flake to the bottom edge. The back has the impressed marks ''ENGLAND, 13, 5''. Combined shipping is always available at Bungalow BILL!

This is a very nice example of the glazing techniques used by the American Tile companies. The color has a chrystalline and iridescent quality. The ''oil spotting'' of the darker tan plays well against the gold ground. It is made from a thick cream colored faience clay and is 1/2 inch thick. There are two small corner chips, and the impressed mark peeks out under a thin layer of grout on the back.

This is a charming little gem of a tile. The pearly white glaze crystalizes at the edes of the design and is complimented by the glossy black background. I have been unable to find this in a catalog, but the coarse white clay leads me to believe that this is from one of the Ohio companies, perhaps Owens or Cambridge Wheatley. I have a number of this design available if you are considering a project. They would look great interspersed in field tile. The condition is excellent.
