Mexican redware pottery painted tile - help with signature please.

This tile is hand painted & is signed in the corner. I was hoping someone could make out the signature for me.



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

Oh, I think you have found something good.
Click on the two tiles similar to yours. Looks like they sold for $100 each

very nice..

 

I keep coming across tiles by someone named Rugario.
The "R" appears the same as the one on your tile.

Thanks Pat!!

I did see some tiles with that name & was hoping someone else would see what I did, but didn't want to influence anyone.

There were 2 signatures that seem to sell very well, but the other one started with a U so it was ruled out immediately.

Now hopefully Gila, or someone, will be able to tell me if there is a specific name for the bag thing he is carrying.

This was part of large lot of pottery tiles that someone collected from around the world. I sold several with fruits & vegetables to someone at the auction that night for what I paid for the whole lot. I still have 11 more to sell so this will definitely be a good buy, especially because I barely got to glance at them before I bid.

Apparently it's from Casa Rugerio in Puebla, México. A well respected ceramic house.
