Minton and Co. Encaustic Blue Vine Floor Tiles circa 1870

$30.00

Minton and Co. were one of the most prolific and popular producers of encaustic floor tile in the world, making tile that paved houses throughout Europe and the United States- even the Capitol in DC! The colored clay layer- a full 1/8”- ensured that the patterns on these beautiful clay tiles withstood heavy foot traffic and even minor surface chips. While these tiles were produced on a mass scale, they are of such quality that each clay tile is a work of art! Various chips and accretions commensurate with age and material. Please inquire for additional photos.
