I have removed some of the grout previously on the tiles, there is some remaining on a few.  I try to state the condition of the tiles as best as possible. As there will be dirt, grout, patina and general signs of age. Also some tiles have imperfections that were a result of the original glazing and firing.  These were produced in the late 1800's/early 1900's.

The American Encaustic Tiling Company was established in Zanesville, Ohio in 1875. By the 1930s, the company was one of the largest tile manufacturers in the world. The company manufactured art tile, plain and ornamental wall tile, and floor tile.
