The tile shown in the image is from the renowned Belgian factory Manufactures Céramique d'Hemixem, Gilliot & Cie, which was located in Hemiksem (Antwerp Province), Belgium. The stylized letter "H" stamped on the back stands for Hemiksem. Active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this factory was one of Belgium's premier producers of decorative and Art Nouveau ceramic tiles, which were exported globally. This set of tiles made it's way to the floor tiles of Madam Gan Chin Neo (granddaughter of Gan Eng Seng) who passed away in 1928.
