    These are very cute and only 3" wide. They are signed, but I can't read the signature. I'm thinking they are from South America or Mexico - has anyone seen something similar? Thanks!

    I have seen those ridges on the backs of tiles from Mexico.
    If you were to peel the paper off of one there may be a mark on the back.
    The paper was probably put on to keep it from scratching the wall. And you can always put another piece of paper back on.

    If I were going to take the paper off, I would lay a damp (not soaking wet) paper towel over the paper and leave it for half an hour. Then come back and try and lift it off.

    I would not soak the tile as it may be unbaked and water might damage it.

    Wait for other suggestions before trying this.
    I might be wrong in how to go about taking the paper off.

    I will give it a try. The tile is fired, so I don't have to worry about the paint dripping. Thanks
