Ceramic mosaic catalog no. 2
A 1930 trade catalogue issued by the Matawan Tile Company of Matawan, New Jersey, presenting its ceramic mosaic tile line to architects, builders and dealers. Its pages show swatch charts of border, field, broken-joint and plaid weave tile patterns, each sample labelled with a catalogue number, colour blend and tile size. A designer can draw on these for mosaic floor and wall layouts, from tight checkerboards and diamond lattices to random blends of earthy reds, greens and greys.
