Tile was given to me by my aunt in Bremen approx. 50 yrs ago.

Vraag

I have not been able to find another like it on the internet. Is this a rare tile?

What is it's approximate age?

Thank You.

Tile series with small, jumping animals in a circle were made from about 1690 until well into the 19th century. Many hunted hares, sometimes also foxes, probably the tile painter made a combination of these: the ears of a hare, the tail of a fox. It is difficult to distinguish or date the series of different factories from Harlingen and Makkum (Friesland). An example of a series: https://www.collectiegelderland.nl/nederlandstegelmuseum/object/f0333242-f9c5-7bf7-cf08-ac392d913c79
