Solid, Trim, Pillow Tiles by Malibu

Solid and Trim Tiles by MalibuThese tiles came from the same "rescue" as the floral trim tiles I've posted earlier. In addition to amazing decorative tiles Malibu Potteries (1926 - 1932) produced a number of solid tiles in all kinds of shapes. The Potteries targeted builders and architects, and I believe most of the tiles I have are meant to be bathroom tiles. The glaze colors (blue, turquoise, jade) and quality (matte and glossy) are what makes these stand out.

There are also a few really nice blue pillow tiles in two different sizes that are documented on page 66 of the California Tile, The Golden Era 1910-1940 (vol. 2).

These tiles have survived two fires and some of them have been previously installed. Some have chips and attached mortar, while others are in excellent condition.

  • Dimensions: vary
  • Acquired: Topanga Hills, California, May 2013
