I am not certain about the country of origin of these tiles...tile-collecting friends think American, but I think they are of Continental origin. If anyone recognizes the backs, please let me know.  Irregardless of where they were made, they are in a beautiful green glaze and exhibit a really buoyant yet sophisticated design.  Excellent original condition with very minimal surface scuffing/wear and a slight upper right edge glaze chip to the urn tile. The auction is for these four tiles.Please do write with any questions you may have. Good luck and thank you for your consideration! Place a Bid!
