Antique Royal Delft de Porceleyne Fles Tile - Haarlem

Unavailable
From The Netherlands' most famous delft factory founded in 1635 comes this cloisonne tile depicting the heraldic shield for the city of Haarlem. The tile is beautifully finished in mottled colors and the frame (I believe) is glazed to imitate polished, aged bronze. The following information about this type of tile comes from the Porceleyne Fles website: "The cloisonné tiles probably came about by combining the sectile technique (1900) with the crystal-glazed tiles for the building industry (1902). The tiles varied in size from 10 x 15 cm to 20 x 29 cm. Sometimes as many as 15 to 20 different, specially made glazes had to be applied to the individual segments, and as this was extremely laborious and time consuming De Porceleyne Fles was forced to stop making cloisonné tiles in 1977. These tiles are now highly collectible." This tile dates from between 1915 and 1940 based upon the configuration of the mark on the reverse. There are two holes for hanging as is typical of these self-framed tiles. The tile is in excellent condition. Please write with any questions you may have.
