My latest (January 2007) tile acquisition. As I love mosaics I thought this tile would give me the double whammy of tiles and mosaics. Of course the mosaic design is painted on the tile. Minton Tile Works, Stoke on Trent, England. Circa 1880-1890.
Thanks, several people have mentioned this to me. As it happens it is one of my favorite websites that I visit often just to "window shop!" (I guess the internet has given us a whole new definition of that word.)
Life is an adventure. I wake up every day with the expectation that something new, different, and wonderful will cross my path. My main interests are in art (and art history), archaeology, and architectural preservation. Other interests include ceramic tile painting, photography, creative writing, and travel. I also enjoy showing people around Los Angeles and pointing out things they would not otherwise see on their own. I believe variety is the spice of life!
