Description from the seller
Royal Delft Cloisonné Tile – "The Resistance and the Dragon" – 1945 WWII Liberation
This original polychrome cloisonné tile was manufactured in 1945 by the renowned Dutch pottery factory De Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft).
The piece was designed by the celebrated artist Henk Tieman as part of a series commemorating the Dutch Liberation. It features powerful symbolism, depicting the Dutch Resistance (Verzet) fighting a large dragon that bears a swastika on its head.
Below the scene, the Dutch text "Den Vaderland Ghetrouwe 1940 - 1945" is displayed on a banner. The tile measures approximately 20 x 14.5 cm and remains in its authentic vintage condition.
The reverse side clearly shows the impressed factory mark featuring the jar, the JT initials, and the word Delft. This specific design is widely considered the most iconic and sought-after piece from the factory's war-themed series.
The cloisonné technique used creates beautiful raised outlines that separate the vibrant colored glazes. It represents a significant historical artifact of the Netherlands during the Second World War. Collectors value this item for its artistic merit and its deep connection to Dutch national history.
Your acquisition will be safely packaged with professional care to ensure its protection during transit. The item will be shipped fully insured to the winning bidder for complete peace of mind.
