FY...I -- Ken started collecting art nouveau tiles around 1980 in such places as Germany, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil, to name a few. After writing his book on University of North Dakota School of Mines (UND) pottery he decided to write the book referenced above. The tiles I am offering at the present time are duplicates of the ones in his book.
