AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful set of two antique Dutch tiles featuring animal images, made in the 18th century (c. 1750–1800). Both tiles are executed in Delft blue and depict a hare and a dog in a typical 18th-century landscape.
The scenes are framed with a cloud cartouche, a common stylistic feature of this period. In the corners, there is the characteristic lily corner motif, as described by Jan Pluis in 'Animals on Tiles' and 'The Dutch Tile.' The dog and hare scenes correspond to the categories of hunting animals described by Pluis (see Pluis D-series). The tiles are likely from Friesland or the Zaanstreek, both well-known centers of faience production in the 18th century.
Condition
