From the world's foremost collector, here is the new, fully illustrated
standard guide to America's first golden age of tile making. American Art Tile
presents more than 2,000 tiles, arranged geographically and
chronologically, made by more than 100 American potteries and
manufacturers from the Civil War to the 194Os. Full-color photographs
illustrate these collectible and rare tiles from all regions of the
United States, as well as historic landmark tile installations, from the
New York subway to Catalina Island. Tile collectors will appreciate the
meticulously researched history of each pottery, biographies of tile
makers, and rare examples (seldom seen even in museums) from
little-known potteries in Norman Karlson's personal collection.
