D&M Tile Company             1928-1939

CelliniCraft is one of my favorite things to collect. It seems that someone in the company came up with the great idea of mixing tile, and hammered aluminum. These highly collectible works are much sought after, and are not so easy to find. The double serving bowl shown below is one of the hardest items to come by. CelliniCraft mainly used Hispano Moresque and D&M center tiles to make up their works. On rare occasions, you might even find a Tudor center tile in one of the chargers. There are several variations to the bowls and chargers and this only servers to make collecting them even more fascinating.
