Tile
The continuous water lily design of these three tiles is attributed to Addison LeBoutiller, who worked at Grueby from 1900–1911, eventually as their Director of Design. This three-tile repeat design of water lilies was a popular motif at the turn of the century and may have been originally used in a bathroom. For other examples of Grueby Pottery see 69.91.2 and 1982.49.
