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

Verdict:

  • Indeterminable

Analysis:

  • 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
  • No mark visible No mark is visible in the photos. If it is present, please add some extra photos of the bottom or the back of the object.

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.
