These tiles are ubiquitous in Stone Town. They normally reclaim them from discarded furniture and then sell them by the piece. I really, really love the crumbly, old paper on the back of the glass, A lot of people use the tiles to make wooden benches and decorate the back of the bench with them. I’ve collected maybe 20 of these and I think I’ll probably just frame them all and then hang them in a window so the sun can show through them.
