Teco Tile

Q: I know about Teco pottery and its matte green vases, but I just heard the company also made tiles. True?

A: Yes. A color ad in a 1913 catalog shows a variety of tile murals and single tiles used for trim made by Teco. Other tiles are also pictured. Earlier black and white ads show different tiles. Teco advertised that it made “architectural terra cotta, Teco and garden pottery and wall, floor and art tile” until 1917 or later.
