Description from the seller

Special antique Dutch tile from the Netherlands, second half of the 17th century.
With the depiction of a thrush in a diving flight.
It is likely that this is a thrush, as indicated by the spotted pattern on the neck and belly and the whiter side of the neck and belly.

Remarkably, the bird's almost vertical posture appears to swiftly descend to catch its prey.
Displayed in a landscape with plants.
At the back, three boats proudly sit in the water.
Use spiders as corner motifs.
Made of Delft Blue, earthenware, glazed.

Dimensions: 13.1 cm length x 13.1 cm width x 0.8 cm thickness
