EXTREMELY RARE AND LARGE 9 ½" X 9 ½" SQUARE MARBLEHEAD MOUNTED KNIGHT TILE FRAMED IN VINTAGE OAK FRAME, MARKED WITH IMPRESSED MARBLEHEAD MARK AND ORIGINAL PAPER LABEL! Beautiful and Hard to find, this Tile can be found in the Marblehead Museum of Tiles. See the link below, top row on the right: /Pottery-Tiles/index.html I have only seen this tile once, in an auction from the collection of Arthur Baggsâe(tm) daughter, Mary Trowbridge Baggs Tweet of Tolland, Connecticut. This is a large impressed and incised tile from the 1915 to 1920's, in a golden glaze. T is a glaze flaw at the bottom right side and a couple of glaze pops in the Knightâe(tm)s shield. (See photos) Very heavy and thick, frame measures 1" thick, tile probably measures at least 5/8" thick. T is no damage other than factory flaws and a minor scratch or two. Tile and frame weigh 8 pounds. Marblehead Pottery was established in 1904 by Dr. Herbert J. Hall as a convalescent therapy for patients at Hallâe(tm)s Devereux Mansion Sanitarium in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Arthur Baggs joined the staff in 1905 as Director of the Pottery. He was an expert in incised ceramics and hand painting. Under his leadership, Marblehead became more than just a rehabilitative center. By 1915, he was the owner of the pottery and, though it always remained a small operation of no more than 8 potters, it became one of the top producers of art pottery during the Arts and Crafts Period of the 1920's. The Great Depression forced closure of the pottery by 1936. Tiles are particularly hard pieces of Marblehead Pottery to find. Most tiles are small, and production of the larger tiles was kept to a minimum. Only a few designs were made in this size. This large Knight tile is finished in a matte golden to rust finish, with incised detail and features throughout the scene. It is beautifully custom framed in solid hardwood oak, ready for hanging. Very Scarce and Highly Sought After Marblehead Treasure! NO RESERVE and LOW SHIPPING with INSURANCE INCLUDED!
