Menlo Park Ceramic Works, Menlo Park, NJ    1879-1914     Rare tile from Charles Volkmar depicting a woman playing a piano.    Raised lines create the image and there is glossy glaze in off white and mottled beige.  Measures 6" x 6" x 1/2" thick.  The condition is very good; does have edge chips and wear due to age.  Signed, never set.     We have only seen a few tiles by this East Coast company.  Last 2 photos show images found in publications.

Comes from Norman Karlson's tile collection.   He researched antique tile and published books on American Art tile.
