Title: Victorian tile - JAA
Post by: Crispin on September 12, 2011, 10:23:58 AM

Anybody know who JAA could be? It's a bit of a scratchy mark so maybe an amateur. There also appears to be a date mark stamped 18?1 or it could be something else?? third digit is a little odd!

The tile also has an impressed marks: X & E

What are your thoughts? 19c or later?

Can't help with the ID but until someone comes along, this might be of help to identify the period from the pattern http://www.tile-heaven.co.uk/

Hi there:

Could it be FAA, or FAU?  Just my opinion as to what it looks like

Might be worth a browse through the Tesselations website here too: http://www.tessellations.org.uk

I'm confident it's AA (the picture makes the second A look Ilike a U) I did wonder about F as opposed to to J though.
