    Description

    I buy antique and vintage linens at local estate auctions and always keep an eye out for beautiful items.  Recently I found a treasure trove of antique ceramic tiles.
    These are five antique Arts & Crafts tiles from circa 1900 that were never used.  There are three identical tiles and a pair of another pattern that all harmonize.   They all measure 6" square.  The three have a cream background with a floral spray in the center in shades of rose pink and green.  These do not have a maker's mark on the back.  The other two are marked T.R. Boote with their mark in the center back, as shown; these have a blue-green background with a design of 3 rose pink flowers in the center.  All of these have raised slip and tube-lined design, giving lots of definition to the patterns
    These are unused but they've sustained some damage in their 120+ year lives: each has some chipping at the corners and crazing in the glaze, as shown in the photos.  Two of the cream tiles have dark marks on the back and one shows through to the front.  Still, they go beautifully together and can be used together for an architectural detail.  Please write in if you have questions or comments.  Thanks!
