    Description

    You're bidding on a nice pair of hand decorated art tiles - 8" square - one of them appears to be artist signed, it looks to me like it says Ame Selauk. Tiles are manufacturer-marked by Marmara Cini, a manufacturer in Kutahya, Turkey. The tiles are beautifully and ornately decorated with traditional, colorful folk scenes - one features a woman dancing to the music of a harpist and drummer - the other, a couple romancing. Both are set in a similar field of wildflowers, tucked into the foothills of a mountain range.
    Both are in nice, clean condition, with no chips, cracks or crazing. I don't think they're very old, as from what I can tell, Marmara was founded in 1993. Please review photos carefully to make your own determination of overall condition and appeal, and don't hesitate to ask any questions prior to bidding - thanks for looking!
