I have looked at thousands of tiles on the Internet and in person and nothing has ever come close to the beauty of this tile. This tile is from the 50's...on the back it reads "Pat Clincher Old Bridge" made in the USA. Notice the details...it has a crackle finish and the thickness is unlike anything made today with the exception of marble. My dear friend Margaret gave me this tile also. I hate to sound selfish...but this tile is going to be used on a future project yet to be determined...that I will be keeping for myself!!!!
