During the interbellum period, the company expanded into complete bathroom interior solutions, often collaborating with specialist metal suppliers for hardware that complemented their tile lines. These architectural-functional accessories, produced in relatively small batches compared to tiles, are now considered rare survivors of early 20th-century Dutch interior programmes. The triangle Mosa stamp marked on the reverse tiles was widely used on architectural ware exported under the “Made in Holland” designation for European markets.
