AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Decorative Dutch Delft blue and white tile, likely dating from the 18th century. Large central motif showing a fully rigged sailing ship with billowing sails and flying pennants, painted on a white tin-glazed ground. Stylised waves beneath the hull create a sense of movement. Ox-head corner motifs in the four corners.
Maritime scenes, particularly sailing ships, are highly desirable subjects in Delftware, valued for their historical and decorative appeal.
The tile is presented in a wooden frame of later date, which makes the piece ready for wall display.
Size: ± 17 x 17 cm (frame)
Tile: ± 13 x 13 cm
Certificate of Authenticity (PDF) is available upon request for lots with a hammer price of €100 or higher.
Condition: good solid condition. The surface displays some pitting and kiln imperfections, consistent with the hand-made character of Delftware of this type. Presented in a wooden frame of later date and ready for display.
