\"Solid<\/a>These tiles came from the same \"rescue\" as the floral trim tiles<\/a> I've posted earlier. In addition to amazing decorative tiles\u00a0Malibu Potteries (1926 - 1932) produced a number of solid tiles in all kinds of shapes. The Potteries targeted builders and architects, and I believe\u00a0most of\u00a0the 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.<\/p>\n

There are also a few really nice blue pillow tiles in two different sizes that are documented on page 66 of the\u00a0California Tile, The Golden Era 1910-1940 (vol. 2)<\/em>.

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.<\/p>\n
