ABOUT PRODUCTID 5959
This 18th-century Dutch Delft ceramic tile, crafted from tin-glazed faience, measures approximately 13 x 13 cm with a thickness of about 0.5 cm. The tile features a hand-painted cobalt blue decoration on a warm, slightly creamy white ground: a stylized horse grazing in a pastoral landscape forms the centerpiece, rendered in soft, sketch-like blue brushstrokes. Each corner displays a delicate foliate or floral motif, typical of Dutch Delftware from this era. The surface presents a matte to subtly satin sheen, with visible craquelure and minor imperfections characteristic of antique ceramics. Edges show wear—small chips and abrasions—while the unglazed reverse is rough to the touch. The condition is good for its age, with clear signs of use and the passage of time, underscoring the object's authenticity. In this tile, one hears the quiet voice of 18th-century Holland—where everyday life and the natural world intertwined in simple, artisan creations. The horse motif evokes a closeness to the landscape, while the cobalt corner ornaments echo the workshops of Delft, where ceramics were made to endure and to decorate for generations. Every crack and weathered mark tells of years gone by, and the matte surface gently scatters light, conjuring the calm of historic interiors. This tile may be displayed on a living room wall, combined with a collection of other ceramics or an antique mirror in a wooden frame. It works well in an eclectic setting with rustic and folk accents, but could also serve as a subtle historical counterpoint in a minimalist space. Pairing it with natural materials—linen, dark wood, stoneware—will highlight its handcrafted spirit.
