\"Hexagon<\/a>These vintage hexagon tiles have incredible matte glazes. There is a lot of variation within the tiles of each color, and the speckled glazes are not uniform. The tiles are quite thick (1\/2\") and are made of white porous clay.<\/p>\n

I was told that they were likely made by Calco (1923 - 1932), the pottery company in South Gate, CA, that was started by Rufus Keeler. Keeler later went to work for Malibu Potteries. He was known to be a big fan of experimenting with glazes, especially in rich colors.<\/p>\n

I have quite a few of these in two different sizes and a number of different colors. I'll have to think of a good project to use them!<\/p>\n
