Description
- Grueby Faience Company
- Tile Trivet
the tile signed D.C. and with paper label numbered 135
- glazed earthenware and patinated bronze
- the bronze mount executed by Tiffany Studios
Condition
Overall in very good condition. The inset tile appears to be undisturbed, and shows very gentle wear and a few minor surface imperfections to the glaze inherent in the making. There are some occasional small losses to the original grouting surrounding the tile. The patinated bronze mount with a few small and minor surface dings and gentle wear and rubbing to the patina consistent with age and use. The underside of the bronze mount with traces of a green surface residue (possibly traces of the grouting). A very charming and attractive object.
