Border Tile 1882 - 1885

This ceramic tile, known as “Border Tile,” was created by the J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works between 1882 and 1885. The tile features a repeating pattern of white stylized flowers and leaves against a dark background. The design is a prime example of the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized craftsmanship and natural forms. The tile is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
