The origin of Taylor Tile is much that a story of a young entrepreneur who came to Los Angeles in search of business opportunity. Frank M. Taylor began his career by scouting Los Angeles county for “good clay” and settled on Santa Monica, where the deposits already hosted several clay product facilities, including Los Angeles pressed brick (later Gladding McBean), Western Brick, Simons Brick, and Pacific Clay Products. Taylor purchased 10 unimproved acres for the factory and office bounded by the Pacific electric tracks. Sixty men were employed by 1927 with a plant capacity of 75,000 bricks per day. They were selling so much brick that they couldn’t make it fast enough. Additional products were added including mission style roofing tile, fancy clay wall vents, decorated glaze tile, large garden pottery and chimney pots to ornament the Spanish style houses in vogue at that time.
Most of the decorative tile work and especially the tile panel installations were custom designs, based on architects’ sketches. Designs were primarily raised-line (Cuenca), largely styled geometrics in bright colors. By 1930 the company continued producing decorative tile to the door and the custom homes of celebrity such as Rudolph Valentino and Gracie fields.
This tile wall fountain is an exquisite, very large quantity to surface. Salvaged out of a 1920's Spanish revival style historic home in Hancock park. This fountain took over 72 man hours to salvage and we are pleased to present the finished product. These tiles are ready to be set, and made into your dream fountain! Fully customizable and can be resized to fit whatever area you are trying to bring life to. The colors are really what draws your eye at first glance, they all compliment each other so nicely. Similar in design to Malibu potteries, these tiles are extremely rare and made in the same period. These would add the charm your home deserves. A statement piece for all to appreciate.
This wall fountain features x42 4" x 4" tiles and X 50 6" x 6" tiles mainly. The spitter is also a 6" x 6".

There are some tiles that have some slight weathering, small nicks and chips, and some of the smaller tiles have some grazing in the glaze.I tried to include the details the best I can in the photos.
