Condition

Overall very good condition. The tiles included in this offering, as seen in the catalogue illustration, display a richly saturated color palette ranging from fiery reds, yellows, and oranges to warm russet browns and ochre to bright greens, deep aqua, and olive green. Each of the tiles presents a unique palette but present harmoniously as a variegated group. The tiles appear not to have been used and present with scattered minor surface scratches and edge chips. A few of the small tiles with small chips to the corners. Two small tiles that were previously cracked have been restored by a professional Tiffany conservator and are in stable and functional condition. An excellent collection of tiles displaying a wide range of colors.
