Framed Tile of a Sailboat at the Shoreline Elio Schiavon This tall and slim ceramic

This tall and slim ceramic tile plaque was made in West Germany by Ruscha in the 1960-70's

Love those jewel tone glazes

Although the design hearkens back to the 1930's I suspect this tile dates from the 1960-80's

so probably not a toy for a child

Always reminded me of bursting fireworks

Framed Tile of a Sailboat at the Shoreline Elio Schiavon This tall and slim ceramicThis pretty antique tile was made around 1910 in England. It depicts a sailboat near the shoreline and is covered in a pale aqua glaze. Made in the intaglio process the image is pressed into the tile and while in kiln the glaze pools into the recesses giving the image depth. The tile measures 6" square. Framed it measures 7 3 4" square. The tile is unmarked. There is some roughness around the edges, hidden by the frame.
