Gorgeous high-gloss portrait painted on ceramic tile manufactured in Onda, Spain, in the Province of Castellon. At the end of the XIXth Century and the beginning of the XXth, more than forty factories were producing tiles there, which is also home of the Tile Museum at Onda. In the original frame. Tile measures 5 7/8" wide and 7 7/8" tall. Frame measures approximately 9 3/4" wide and 11 1/2" tall. Signed by the artist, Rico, as shown. Condition of the tile is very good-to-excellent, with no apparent chips, cracks, or scratches. Some minor crazing under the glaze, around the signature. Tile is impressed on the reverse, as seen in the close up photo, with a circle containing the number 5, and the words "ONDA, MADE IN SPAIN." Probably dates from after 1921 (when foreign products coming into the U.S. were required to indicate the name of the country of origin), to the early 1930s.
