Description |
Clay floor tile was made by the American Encaustic Tile Company in Zanesville, Ohio, around 1890. This art-pottery tile is square and has an oak-leaf design in brown, white, yellow, blue and rust. The ceramic tile was made from a cast and is marked on the reverse with the following text: "The American/Encaustic Tile Co/Limited" and impressed "25A." Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Lyon of Columbus, Ohio, donated this floor tile to the Ohio Historical Society in 1988.; The American Encaustic Tiling Company (Aetco) was founded in Zanesville, Ohio, in 1876. The company, which made many patterns of decorative and functional tile from the Victorian times until World War II, was later known as the American Encaustic Tile Company. Aetco closed in 1939. |
