These tiles were purchased from the estate of a lifelong tile collector in central Pennsylvania.
These tiles were made by the American Encaustic Tile Company out of Zanesville, Ohio and New York City. At one time reported to be the largest tile manufacturer in the world, the company was founded in 1874. The firm produced the famous nursery tiles designed by Walter Crane, and later hired Frederick H. Rhead (a major figure in American ceramics history) to head its research. In the 1920s they branched into faience tiles to capture the growing market of interest in Arts & Crafts tiles. The Zanesville plant closed in 1935, a victim of the Great Depression.
