Rare Albert Solon Carved Tile – S&S San Jose California – Arts & Crafts 1920’s. Large 8 Hand-Carved and Glazed Tile. Circa early 1920’s. Signed twice on the reverse, stamped into the clay. A very large example designed and carved by the hand of Albert Solon, who immigrated from England in 1912, became the Director of the Arequipa Pottery in 1912, and opened the S & S Tile Company with Frank Schemmel in 1920. Several deeply carved and glazed bowls in the same style and signed by Albert Solon are in collections and can be seen by searching Google for “Albert Solon carved bowl”. One bowl has a motif foliage and birds, and the same design of the leaves as used in this tile. WEIGHT : 2 lbs 10 oz. A museum quality American art pottery tile. Excellent condition with no crazing, hairlines, or cracks. There are two small shallow glaze flakes at the upper left of the design (easily repaired if desired – see close-up photos).
