This rare Art Deco Franklin ceramic bathroom set is a stunning piece of 1930s design history, showcasing the craftsmanship and style that made Franklin Tile Company one of America’s most renowned ceramic producers.
The set includes original wall-mounted bathroom accessories, also known as architectural ceramic fixtures — including recessed soap dishes, toothbrush holders, and a pair of ceramic light sconces with integrated toggle switches. Each piece features Franklin’s signature aqua-green glaze with subtle craquelure, a hallmark of the brand’s high-quality kiln-fired finishes.
Founded in 1923 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, Franklin Tile Company became famous for its vividly glazed, hand-finished ceramics that adorned homes, hotels, and institutions during the golden age of American tilemaking. Their pieces were known for both their functionality and their artistic value — often installed as built-in wall elements in bathrooms, kitchens, and public spaces.
