Possible Delft Tile

Voorwerp
Decoratie

Simple Morning Glory floral design in green, blue and black. Cream/gray background on terra cotta. Some crackling in the glaze. If there is a mark on the back, can't see it due to felt backing attached.

Vraag

Authentic delft of some kind? Anyone know a safe way of removing the felt on the back (glue of unknown kind)?
Thanks, Sue

Dissolve the glue with acetone. Let the tile soak in it . This isn't Delft !

Kind regards,

 

Acetone worked great. The felt came right off. Unfortunately, no ID marks on the back.
