Vraag

Good Day from South Africa. I have an old chest which I had restored in the 1980s. I had Delft tiles (bought in Holland) inlaid by the restorer on the top of the piece. After recently having my house painted, I notice that the painters chipped one of the tiles. I do not have the chip so I can't repair it. Is it possible to obtain a matching tile?

Verdict:

  • Not Delftware

Analysis:

  • Not made in Delft The term Delftware is only used for earthenware actually produced in Delft. Read more
  • More recent production technique After 1850, factories in and outside Holland developed more efficient and cheaper production techniques. This goes beyond the scope of this website. Read more
  • Not hand-painted Due to historical research, we keep discovering more about the marks Delft potteries used. Would you like to learn more about these potteries? 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.

Your tiles aren't made in Delft. They are 20th century machine made products, so hopefully that might make it easier to find some others.
