Welcome to - CALTILES.COM - It is my hope that you will enjoy this website and all it has to offer.

If you would like to buy tile or pottery, you will find the Items For Sale and Want Ad section helpful. I want to create a place where tile enthusiasts can come and connect with each other and hopefully make a few friends along the way. This site is best viewed at (1152x864 or higher)
I have recently had the blessing of discovering a nice collection of rare Muresque Tiles. The company operated in Oakland from 1925-1934. The owner of the company, William F. Muir, relocated to Fresno Ca in 1935 after he closed the company down. I was invited to his estate to bring these treasures back from the "Tile Graveyard" as we have now named it. Among the many wonderful treasures I discovered were several Muresque tiles including some very rare prototypes as well as this incredible 70 tile mural with 6x6 inch tiles. With the expertise of Eric Ramos and his wife Wanda from ericstile.com , the mural was salvaged from a wall of cement and brick located in the Muir home. The mural and the other treasures I discovered will be at the Golden California Show Oct. 8th-9th at the Glendale Civic Auditorium.
