Coveted and collectible, these are stunning examples of California tile from the esteemed manufacturer Batchelder-Wilson Co. Abstracted birds in a butterscotch gold hue dance across their surface in a Mayan Revival style, defined simply by a pillowy relief design with recessed areas in a mineral green.

But what better description is there of the qualities of these tiles than from the Batchelder catalog itself?

Our material is appropriate for interior and exterior enrichment. It is used for mantels, pavements, fountains, counters, storefronts, in fact, it is suitable for any place where a fired clay product may be properly specified. Our product is hand wrought by processes developed in our own factory. The body is an encaustic, non-vitreous material; the color is a mineral slip fired into the surface at high temperatures in such a way that it becomes an integral part of the body, presenting a surface texture free from gloss and with the mottled surface characteristic of Batchelder Tiles. It will be found that there are slight variations of shape and size.

These tiles can be found in the 1923 catalog, identified as design no. 640-A and 640-D, but they have also been elsewhere identified as pattern 2020 and 2021. Multiple available of each style. Priced individually. Inquire for group pricing.
