The heading of this should say piece of pottery not price, I do not know how to edit or delete the title, sorry

Classic cobalt blue, used for underglaze decoration.

Line structure: The horizontal lines at the bottom are typical of the way in which soil or water was depicted in 18th-century tiles, especially in Dutch landscapes.

Tin glaze (tin-op-glaze): The white base layer on which the blue decoration is applied is typical of Delft faience. This technique came into vogue in the Netherlands in the late 16th century and became standard in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Clay: The back shows a brownish-yellow shard, indicating non-porcelain pottery, typical of tiles from Holland or Friesland.
Probable date: between 1700 and 1800
(Late 17th to 18th century)

The fine lines and the use of landscape scenes fit perfectly within this period.

The simplicity of the decoration may suggest the late 18th century, when larger-scale production and simpler decoration became more common.

kind regards Franky

Beoordeling:

  • Niet vast te stellen

Toelichting:

  • Tinglazuuraardewerk Aardewerk met een glazuur waaraan tinoxide is toegevoegd om het dekkend wit te maken. Delfts aardewerk van vóór 1850 is altijd voorzien van tinglazuur. Lees meer
  • Handbeschilderd Een belangrijk kenmerk van authentiek Delfts aardewerk is dat het handgeschilderd is. Druktechnieken komen op dit aardewerk niet voor. Lees meer
  • Geen merk te zien Er is op de foto’s geen merk zichtbaar. Mocht die wel aanwezig zijn, voeg dan wat extra foto’s van de onder- of achterkant van het object toe.

A Delft origin cannot be definitively established, as tiles were produced at various locations throughout the Netherlands. However, this is a fragment of an antique tile, likely from the 18th century, though a late 17th-century date cannot be ruled out in my opinion.
