Low (including plastic sketches), the American Encaustic Tiling Company, the Trent tile company, Providential, Old Bridge, and U.S. Encaustic.

The auction will offer many Dutch tiles by Rozenburg and De Porceleyne Fles . English companies will include Minton’s, Pilkington’s, Sherwin & Cotton, William de Morgan.
