Overview
P-2 series – Child’s play scenes
These Delft wall tiles are based on original antique Delft tiles with timeless child’s play scenes. They are decorated with ox-head (PMC-20) corner motifs and painted in a classic shade of blue. The photos show the P-2 series painted on shade Poarte-F, enhanced with a crackled finish and pinholes. This is our base configuration, but of course it can be completely fine-tuned to your preferences.

16 unique scenes
Each tile in this series is based on original scenes found on a set of 17th-century reclaimed Delft tiles. The collection features 16 unique depictions of traditional child games, from hopscotch and jump rope to stilt walking, hoop rolling, and even a round of early golf. With so many different scenes to explore, your tile installation becomes a joyful mosaic of movement and nostalgia, where there's always something new to notice. And because every tile is hand-painted, no two are exactly the same, adding charm, character, and a personal touch to any space.
Pinholes in the corners
Pinholes were part of the tile production process before 1860. A wooden board was used to stabilize the clay during cutting, leaving small pin marks - typically two, three, or four. This enhancement can be added to the P-2 tiles to recreate this authentic imperfection, contributing to their historic look and feel.
Crackled finish
Crazing refers to the fine network of hairline cracks that appear over time on antique ceramics, including Delft tiles. It occurs naturally with age, but we offer it as an optional finish to evoke the same aged appearance. If you're looking for a more antique, timeworn look, the crackled finish is a perfect match for the P-2 series.
