This de Porceleyne Fles (Royal Delft) hanging tile measures 4.5" square by 3/8" thick. Best of all, it is decorated with a quaint village or farm scene with a drawbridge central to the theme, in what the Dutch refer to as 'Cloisonne' style. Perhaps this is a historic site. The details on this tile are superb, with very refined features in awesome colors, and finished in a satin matte. It is marked with a pencil number, and inclsed 'Delft' on the rear, along with an impressed image of a vase, and what appears to be a backward 'F', which is actually the combined initials 'J.T.', which represents the initials of 'Joost Thooft', the man who purchased the Delft Factory back in 1876. The Delft Factory continues making tiles to this day, and is the only remaining tilemaker in that regoin still operating in the manner and production of tiles as they were produced in the 17th and 18th centuries. This tile is a very nice tile, made around WWII into the mid-20th century period. It is in original factory condition, with factory hanger holes at the top, which are threaded with a wire hanger. This impressive tile is of high quality in workmanship and makes a wonderful old-world presentation.
