Mid Century Ship Tile Panel Hand Glazed Bathroom Accent Liner Tile with flakes around the edgesA rare tile panel made in Japan at the Fujimiyaki Tile works from a panel designed by the Mosaic Tile Company of Zanesville Ohio. The panel is hand glazed and was never used. In fact it is still in its original wrapping paper and box. Each tile measures 4 1 4" square making the panel 17" square. Probably post war production it is a direct copy of a design by the Mosaic Tile Company ( the last photo shows a line drawing from a Mosaic catalog c 1950)
