VERY RARE Grueby Pottery Tile MONK with BOOK Blue & Cream 6x6 (SAVE U FRAME)

  
Very Rare and highly prized. 6" x 6" tile in Cream and Blue color polychrome matte glazes on red clay tile base. The tile comes in a Prized Grueby colors, however the cream color shows up brighter in the pictures than in person.

The cream color is duller and darker in person. I tried to capture the actual color but the camera brighten the lighter cream color. This is still and very nice example of this tile. This tile is in good condition with nearly perfect edges, please look closely at all the pictures. The tile still has mortar on the sides and backing, also some mortar in crevices on the face that could be easily cleaned out with a dental or craft pick.

You clean and frame, you save! This tile may, or may not have the makers mark GRUEBY BOSTON on the back once the mortar has been cleaned off, but there is NO guarantee the makers mark is on the back. I have found about 30% of the tiles I have to sell, have the makers mark on the back.

Beginning in 1898, focusing primarily on art pottery vases, he introduced his own version of French matte finishes, including the matte green finish that became his signature work. The popularity of his work, however, spawned mass market competition and eventually resulted in the company's demise in 1909. Grueby emerged from bankruptcy and began limited production runs that included statues, pottery, and tiles, before the company closed for good in 1920. This company specialized in architectural tiles, brick and Terracotta.

They were renowned for the matte green glaze which can be found in the 50th Street station. The company, which became even better known for its art pottery, was bought out by the C. Pardee Works in Perth Amboy, New Jersey in 1917. It closed completely in 1938.
