Tile - Westraven Utrecht - 1950-1960 - Padang

The Padang tile is a specific collector’s item produced by the Westraven factory in Utrecht as part of its “Tile-Arms” (Tegel-Wapen) or “Dutch East Indies” (Nederlands-Indië) series.

Specific Indies series: Similar tiles from the Nederlands-Indië series (such as the one commemorating the return from the Indies).

Production period: Although Westraven has been making cloisonné tiles since the 1920s, the specific series featuring weapons from cities in the Dutch East Indies (such as Padang, Medan and Semarang) dates mainly from the 1950s to the early 1960s.
