Overview
SAMPLES of our newly made plain white Delft tiles can be ordered here. For a custom sample package, please contact us.
The Colourful Mix by Poarte offers a bold yet balanced ensemble of six classic white shades, featuring subtle tones of grey, white, and green. Developed with inspiration drawn from 17th-, 18th-, and 19th-century Delft tiles, these hues evoke the timelessly imperfect look Delft tiles are known for but in a more understated manner than the All-in Mix. Adding the optional pinholes and crackled finish (detailed below) further enhances the tiles’ aged, authentic quality, delivering a refined touch to a variety of indoor spaces.
The first photo features the Colourful Mix with both pinholes and the crackled finish, while the overlay images show the base version (no enhancements) alongside a 16-tile selection with enhancements. For additional information on these options, please see below or review the specifications tab.
Pinholes in the corners; In the past (prior to 1860), a wooden board fitted with pins secured clay tiles during cutting, leaving small holes in the corners. Reintroducing two pinholes per tile captures the mildly imperfect charm historically associated with Delft tiles.
Crackled finish; Over decades or centuries, Delft tiles commonly develop fine cracks, known as crazing. Choosing our crackled finish replicates this naturally aged aspect. If you prefer a smoother appearance, you may opt out of this enhancement.
