Tile - Cloisonné tile Shocking Forward/Rotterdam - Westraven - 1940-1950

An interesting and rare cloisonné tile by Westraven. The tile depicts the rebuilding of the Netherlands after the war. It is a Rotterdam piece with many activities: a horse and wagon on the Meuse quay loaded with coal, the Maas bridges where a steam locomotive runs over, ships sailing, smoking chimneys, and an airplane. Yet things did not move at the same pace back then. Hence the text: Shocking Forward. The tile has two minimal and barely visible restorations in the lower corners. Shipping is via Post NL. The package is insured and sent by registered mail. If you buy multiple lots, you only pay shipping costs once.
