Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.

Delft earthenware tile, 12.8 × 12.8 × 1.1 cm, dating to circa 1650–1700, depicting a schepentegel with a VOC return ship, in reasonable condition with heavy wear and possible small parts missing, professionally restored at the two bottom corners and with the glaze surface in apparently perfect condition.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Offered: a very beautiful tile featuring an image of a ship motif with a purple tint. The tile shows a very nice large image of a VOC return ship. The quality of the tile has unfortunately been restored, the two lower corners have been professionally restored. The left lower corner has been slightly touched up; the little spider is still original, the right lower corner has been restored, a corner has been added to the tile here, the half-spider is still original. The quality of the glaze surface is perfect. In my opinion the tile dates from around 1675.
