Good evening, Thank you!  2 tiles with the flowerpots are Dutch Delftware tiles dating: 1625-1650. It is somewhat difficult to say the exact production place. The polychrome bird tile is a 20th century copy/replica. The other 2 tiles were popular in many cities so they were probably made in several different cities. With kind regards, Edwin van Drecht.

Verdict:

  • Delftware

Analysis:

  • Delftware, made between 1620 – 1850 Only tin-glazed earthenware made in Delft between 1620 - 1850 is referred to as traditional Delftware. Read more
  • Tin-glazed earthenware Earthenware with a glaze to which tin oxide has been added to make it opaque white. Delftware produced before 1850 is always covered with a tin glaze. Read more
  • Hand-painted An important characteristic of authentic Delftware is that it is hand-painted. Printing techniques do not occur on this earthenware. Read more
  • Unmarked An unmarked object does not necessarily mean that it is not Delftware. Only about 1/3 of all Delftware is marked. Read more

Thank you Edwin!
