Border Tile

J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular tile with a white background and dark grey design. The tile features a repeating pattern of four identical flowers. Each flower has a round center and rounded petal-like shapes extending outwards in a circular pattern. The flowers are positioned side-by-side horizontally across the tile. A thick border with a cracked design runs along the top and bottom edges of the tile. The border design appears to be a simple raised geometric pattern. The overall composition is symmetrical.
