DELFT TILES
Delft dates back as far as the early 1500s. The Dutch city of Delft, after which the pottery is named, was the major centre of its production. Tiles and pottery made from Delft are applied with a tin and magnesium glaze that gives them their distinctive purple-blue colour. Their well-known blue and white tiles appeared around 1620 and became world famous, the tiles often painted with scenes from daily life and used to decorate kitchens, chimneypieces, staircases and more.
Each tile: 13 x 13 cm (5 inch)
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Small chips and nibbles to tile edges. Some mortar residue to backs and sides. Minor size variation. Wear consistent with age and use. Minor Losses, scuffs, and scratches.
