    Beautiful estate sale find that I'm hoping you can help tell me more about. I'm not a huge tile collector but I fell in love with this piece. Measures roughly 5" square. It's rather thick, almost 1/2 an inch. The back is pillow like. Definitely hand painted, with what appears to be maybe a Chihuahua?

    There's some writing on back that I can not decipher. Has x-1814 in right upper corner, 65.00 in right lower corner (probably a price mark), both written in pencil. In pen and different handwriting, 298-A, co??brled (not really sure), secxx, CB, MR (inside a square). The ? marks are where it's hard to tell because of smearing.

    Thank you for taking a look and any help given!

      It is from Conimbriga in Portugal. It's pretty!

      Thank you for filling in the blanks! The writing on the back makes some sense now :)
      I appreciate your help. It's really nice to know where this piece from. Thank you again!
