Overview
P-25 series – Diamond flowers
The P-25 series is based on a rare original set of 17th-century Delft tiles, each one featuring a colourful flower framed inside a diamond shape. Every tile is finished with a classic version of the Fleur-de-Lis corner motif and painted on a custom blend of Poarte-E, Poarte-F, and Poarte-G, with pinholes added for an extra touch of authenticity. This is our standard setup, but we’re happy to adjust the shades, finish, or any other detail to match your vision.
16 unique scenes
We recreated this series from an original set made around 1620–1630, a design that was already loved back then and still feels just as charming today. The 16 hand-painted tiles feature a wide variety of flowers like tulips, Fritillaria (Snake’s Head), carnations, corn cockles, and more, all painted in different colours and styles with subtle shifts in shape and size. Each tile has its own personality, which makes the overall look feel fresh and full of life. Since every tile is painted by hand, no two are ever quite the same. When placed together, they create a soft rhythm and plenty of quiet detail that invites a second look.
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 these 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 this series.
