Water Lily or Lotus Flower Tile
American Encaustic Tiling Co., Zanesville, OH 1875-1935
Lotus blossoms and/or water lilies were often depicted on vintage tiles. Here is one from AET with satiny blue glazing. The flower is recessed into the clay and raised lines can be felt on the surface. We also have one in pale mauve. Although these came from Norman Karlson's collection, they did not appear in any of his books.
4 1/4" sq x 1/2" thick
Great condition; never set
