Tile 1879 - 1884

This tile, produced by the J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works between 1879 and 1884, is a prime example of the decorative arts of the late 19th century. The tile features a repeating geometric pattern of hexagons and stylized flowers, executed in a dark brown glaze, which gives the piece a sense of depth and richness. The tile's intricate design, reminiscent of traditional Islamic patterns, reflects the growing interest in Eastern art during this period. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Low Art Tile Works, and their contributions to the ceramic arts of the late Victorian era.
