Title: Unknown Tile...?
Post by: antiquerose123 on January 20, 2008, 08:21:47 AM
Hi, I bought this today one lonely tile for 49 cents.  Looks like it was on a wall once, as there is like a compound on the back.  Must have wanted to keep it, as then someone glued little pegs for a counter pot protector.

I could not make out the back, but when i took the pix, it actually shows up better...but still can't make it out.

Looks like VALV_____ ?

Any ideas?

It think it's Ceramica Valverde SPA, try to google this and you'll find some information.

Address given  here (http://"http://www.infobuild.it/mecgi/drv?tlHome&mod=modHomeAnagAziendeSheet&IDMENU=10&MENU_INDEX=2&UID=5366&INSERZ=") for CERAMICA VALVERDE SPA includes Castelnuovo Valsugana and the word across the bottom looks like it starts with Castelnu... so I think it looks like a good match. :)  The website for Ceramica Valverde redirects to http://www.ariana.it/ so perhaps they've been taken over... ?

So what is the age do you think....I thought it looked a bit older, not new...but I do not know.  Or is this one lonely tile newer?
Thx
