1949 pink flamingo decorative tile wall panel from Mosaic Tile Company

pink-flamingos-mosaic-tile-companyThese mint-in-box pink flamingo wall tiles from the Mosaic Tile Company may well be the most wonderful thing I have ever seen. They are for sale now at BungalowBill.com. Worth every penny of the $2,300 price. Here is what Bill says on his site:

This HUGE panel by the Mosaic Tile Company of Zanesville Ohio dates from 1949 and comes straight from an estate in Florida. These tiles were never installed. They have been packed safely away for 60 years, looking as new as when they came out of the factory. Traditionally a panel such as this was used as the focal point on the back wall over the tub and shower. But, if you can’t commit to installing this prize and leaving it for the next owner, you can always mount and frame it for moveable enjoyment. Your bathroom doesn’t even need to be pink!

Yup, Sara, have no doubt: Our little boxes have features that are becoming more valuable by the minute. Be happy you got in at the beginning of a big trend.

SO beautiful.
I think it’s worth every cent, given the history and condition!
Love it!
