  • Arts & Crafts ceramic tile on ebay

    three tiles

    I’ve been getting lots of emails asking for more links to interesting items for sale – on Craigslist, Ebay, at auction or wherever. So this week and next I’ll be posting a lot more like this.

    Today, pretty A&C tiles on Ebay – some in bulk, some in frames, some individually:

    • green Nouveau patterned tiles (set of 10)
    • blue / green Maijolica tiles (set of 10)
    • A&C green tree motif tile, "odd inq" mark, 6×6
    • another "odd inq" 6×6 tile, this one in a dragonfly motif
    • a third "odd inq" tile, river and pine motif, 4×4
    • two-piece Van Briggle tile frieze – 100-year-old pattern in new tile, in an oak frame
    • pretty little table with four pieces of Malibu or Catalina-style tile inset
    • very sharp mourning dove / olive design Motawi tile in a wooden frame
    • green/gray relief tile, pelican motif, in an interesting frame

  • Gladding, McBean

    The firm of Gladding, McBean has produced materials for hundreds – and probably thousands – of beautiful historic homes here in California. The Greene brothers used their stuccoed planters at the Gamble House, and Bernard Maybeck used their roof tiles, chimney tops, planters and more in both his residential, civic and commercial projects. While it is now a division of Pacific Coast Building Products and no longer independently-owned, they are still making the clay and terra cotta items they’ve become known for since 1874. Today they are the only remaining maker of ornamental hand-made terra cotta in this country.

    The company is still going strong today, producing those items and all sorts of architectural terra cotta work, fire flashed clay floor tiles, and a whole range of garden pottery. Their website has a number of photo galleries; their garden pottery, especially the big oil jars, are beautiful, as are the tiles and decorative chimney tops, the perfect finishing touch to any A & C home.
