J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The rectangular tile by J. and J. G. Low Art Tile Works features a predominantly blue-green glaze with darker blue-green and light blue accents. The tile's surface has a raised design consisting of two symmetrical, swirling patterns resembling rounded abstract shapes with curved lines. The left pattern has three white dots, one centrally placed and one on each curved outer section; the right pattern similarly has three white dots. The tile's edges are chipped and uneven. The background of the image is plain gray.
