    Description
    During the first half of the 20th century, California tile makers produced richly patterned tiles for building facades, interiors, garden ornamentation, furniture, and serving pieces. Arranged alphabetically, over 850 color images this volume capture the beauty of hundreds of tiles from Hispano-Moresque, Kraftile, Helen Greenleaf Lane, L.A. Pressed Brick, Malibu, Markoff, Muresque, Pacific, Pomona, Poxon, Rhead, S & S, Taylor, Tropico, Tudor, Walrich, West Coast, Woolenius, and tile furnishings and crafts from Cellini-Craft, Hillside Pottery, and Monterey Furniture, with a companion volume covering companies from Acme to Handcraft. Both volumes are enriched by rarely seen archival photographs including historical site installations. A useful guide gives to tile terminology and techniques.
