All the scenes in this series are direct ‘copies’ of the scenes we found on original 17th century reclaimed Delft tiles. There are 20 unique scenes depicting animals, children, a pastoral scene, cupids, some fruits and several other objects. By offering you as many unique scenes as possible, you will be able to create an installation which will allow you to always discover something new. In combination with each scene being hand-painted, you will never come across tiles which are completely identical.

Pinholes in the corners; pinholes were part of the production process before 1860. The tile was cut out of clay and to keep it steady while cutting it, a wooden board was placed on top of it with two, three or sometimes even four pins entering the clay (and thus the tile). Adding this enhancement creates two of these pinholes in each tile. It contributes to the authentic and imperfect look and feel of the tiles.

Crackled finish; Crazing is a phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of Delft tiles (and other ceramics). It happens over time (decades, if not centuries). This enhancement is really a matter of taste, as many consider it to be part of the antique experience, while others prefer a tile without. If you are looking for an aged and imperfect look, it is very much worth adding it. It suits the P-8 series given the time period they are based on.
