Trent Tile, Monk With a Flower Ruscha glazed and marked Pinca GrottaglieThis antique tile from the Trent Tile Company of Trenton New Jersey shows a monk sniffing the flower of a potted carnation. It measures 6" square and 1 2" thick. The monk's image is most likely a transfer, but you can see portions have been hand painted. The ombre background has been hand painted. The carnation means fascination, distinction, and love. The tile remains in excellent condition. The Arts and Crafts era was awash with happy monks. Their
