On the site of manufacturing Moscow white clay stove tiles and floor tiles in the first half of the 18th century
One of the most complicated issues in studying 18th century Moscow painted ceramic tiles is to identify where they were produced. An exception to this rule are, luckily, tiles made in small remote towns with a single brickyard. Its production can then by identified by its specific look. Relying on published materials, new archival finds and laboratory studies of ceramic fragments, glazing and paint on white clay tiles produced in the first half of the 18th century, the article suggests that the tiles might have been made at the well-known Moscow brickyard owned by A. Grebenschikov.
