A beautiful 6"x6" Arts & Craft tile by J. & G.L. Low Art Tile Works of Chelsea, MA. The company was active from 1877 to 1902.
The tile is glossy with an olive or gold-green glaze, and we believe the tile dates to around 1881.
One edge is slightly damaged.
The crackle finish of the tile is a stunning example of tile work.
The company won awards in the United States and Europe for its "High Relief" Decorative Art tiles. There are no stamps or identifying marks; but our research indicates that it is design number 4 in the illustrated catalog issued by the company in 1884.
