Austin & Tsons / & Sons // Austin & Tsons / & Sons. (Victoria). Pottery. Garden Tile. Grey form of salt glaze. 253 mm across. 1920s
Very Good. (7). Some flakes and chips around the edges. Chip to the rope design on one side. Quite a large tile, this is quite heavy. We have sold Austin tiles before, but not this rope design variety. This is most likely from William Austin & Sons who operated a pottery at Brunswick between 1904 and 1935. They produced mainly salt glazed pipes and fittings, tiles, garden pots, urns, crocks, filters, etc. Not sure why this is impressed Austin and Tsons - the T looks very out of place but is distinctly impressed. Estimate: $20-30
