Grande Tuilerie de Bourgogne Montchanin
A French trade catalogue of 1910 published in Dijon by the Société Anonyme des Grandes Tuileries Réunies, issued by a Burgundy tile works at Montchanin to show architectural terracotta pieces to builders and architects. The pictures are flat, colour-printed plates in orange-red with black outlines, showing finials, columns, a crest-like cresting and a scrolled frieze with dimension marks. A designer might take from them the scale and rhythm of acanthus scrolls, fluted shafts and stepped profiles used in historic French architectural ornament.
