Description from the seller
Delftware Tile – Stylized Floral/ Rosette Decor – 17th–18th Century
Square Delftware tile with a milky white glaze, featuring a hand-painted central motif representing a rosette or stylized multi-petaled flower.
The design, outlined with a dark manganese line, shows a fill of a subtle turquoise/blue-green copper glaze and a contrasting yellow/ocre heart. The area around the rosette is left clean, highlighting the glaze quality and the graphic simplicity of the motif.
The beveled edges and the light back earth are perfectly consistent with the handcrafted manufacturing techniques of Dutch workshops from the 17th to early 18th centuries.
