19" x 13" Hand Painted Tile Signed Ca E. Molina. Classic Spanish bullfight scene. The tile is marked on the back Pickman E Cachina Dpaea Savilla, gran/medella/oro/Paris/78. Appears to have a museum marking on the back in old handwriting, no 30 4.75d. Charles Pickman was the founder a ceramic factory in Spain in 1841. This is an intricately painted tile. It has been broken and repaired with glue. We were unable to find Molina within our limited art reference library other than reference to a Spanish artist of that surname from the late 1400s. The Pickman and Cachina painted tiles from Seville are highly collectible though in a class completely separate from Della Robbia. Please inspect photo carefully for condition issues. Spain
