Abstract: A wall tile removing tool comprises a shank portion terminating at the rear thereof in a handle portion and terminating at the front thereof in a thin, blade-like cutting portion of a thickness to fit loosely between a tile and wall surface when it extends parallel to the wall surface. The blade-like cutting portion extends at an angle from the shank portion so that the shank and handle portions of said tool are spaced substantially from the wall surface while the blade-like cutting portion extends parallel to the rear surface of the tile and said wall surface.
Abstract: A decorative mirrored tile or the like preferably comprises a square transparent plate of glass or the like of substantially the same thickness throughout including the marginal portions thereof, and a mirror-forming surface at the rear of the plate extending to the margins thereof. There is provided along a band at each margin of the plate innumerable, tiny, spaced light interrupting areas or spots contrasting to the light transmitting characteristics of the tile between the same and the density of which varies progressively in a direction generally parallel to the plate margin involved, reaching maximum and minimum densities respectively at opposite ends thereof where they terminate along respective lines substantially bisecting the angle between the plate edges intersecting the corners of the plate thereat.
