    Hello all,

    I bought this sweet little framed tile because it reminds me of 19th century silhouette portraits which I love. I wonder if it might be from Italy, because of the gilded wooden frame. There is a faint signature on the back panel but I can’t read it. It’s small, about 5.5 x 6.5”. The pottery tile has some brown marks, maybe burns from the firing? I tried to clean them but I don’t want to use any strong cleaners. It has a closed back so I can’t see the back of the tile to see if there are any stamps. Any thoughts on age?
