$385.00
Quantity available: 1
Brooklyn's International Tile & Trim was in business from 1882-1888; its tiles are comparatively rare. This tile is carved in fine relief and could be interpreted as symbolizing Spring (but that might be a stretch). It depicts a classical scene of a woman (Aphrodite? Persephone?) being handed fruits and a garland of flowers by a young attendant and his even younger assistant. She stands next to a pedestal against which rests a tambourine--perhaps she is a bacchante about to celebrate the rites of Dionysius? The tile is finished in a wonderful green majolica glaze. It is in excellent condition with no wear. Please write with any questions you may have.
