Two ceramic tiles

Vraag

Please could anyone help in establishing when they were made and if they are Delft.
I got these tiles from Holland in 1970.

These tiles are Tichelaar Makkum. Frisian pottery. the letters FH next to the brand indicate the year. In this case 1968 (F is the sixth letter in the alphabet and H is the eighth). Tichelaar was one of the pottery factories known for its decorative tiles decorated with birds, plants and later also professions and crafts. Below are some examples.

Kind regards, Franky

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

  • Mark of a non-Delft pottery/factory The typical Delftware also inspires producers outside of Delft, but genuine Delftware has only been produced in Delft. Read more
