Vintage Malibu Tile with Center Hole
Malibu Potteries, Malibu, CA 1926-1932
This large tile has a Moroccan-inspired design on a smooth surface. There are 4 satiny glaze colors and a factory-drilled hole in the center. Perhaps tiles like this were mounted in ceilings with the opening to accommodate electrical wiring. Other uses for these tiles were lamp bases, free standing mirror bases etc. Good condition; has some corner chips and minor edge wear.
