Well,  one was
mottled, but not an identifiable 'design' tile, as the company is  known
for making.



Carol,
 
There are dozens of books on Arts & Crafts era tiles that would more  than 
answer your questions on the tiles you have found. I suggest you peruse the  
Save Our Heritage Organisation (SOHO) book store next to the Whaley House in Old  
San Diego. They have reproduced many technical booklets. It helps to have a  
broader understanding of how those companies evolved color schemes to meet the 
 ethos of the Arts & Crafts Movement in the time they marketed those colors.  
My bet is the tiles you found were part of a fireplace surround or hearth.
