A festive hand painted ceramic tile 6 inches square of a man and a woman in regional costumes. The tile has an off white glaze grading to pale blue at the margins. The detailed painting is of a young couple in special holiday regional costumes. The young woman is in a dark gray skirt with ochre trim, a white underslip, white stockings, black buckle shoes, and a black high-necked top with a gold bodice. She has a garland of colorful flowers around each upper arm as well as a large bouquet of flowers on her hear from which falls a black veil with gold highlights. The man is similarly festive in black buckled shoes, gray stockings and black frock coat, white shirt and black bow tie. He carries a pale blue scarf trimmed in gold and wears a headpiece consisting of a bouquet of flowers atop a short headscarf of black, blue and gold. The figures are about 5 inches tall. The painting is attributed to Germany and is at least 50 years old. There are several markings on the back of the tile, most notably a ?G? within a wreath. We believe the markings refer to the tile alone and do not relate to the origin of the painting. There is no wear or damage but the glaze does show some fine crazing.
