Overview

P-23 series – Wildlife

The P-23 series is a true gem for anyone who loves Delft tiles with subtle scenes of all sorts of creatures that nature has to offer. Each tile depicts a small scene of an animal or insect. Among them is a spider in a web, a butterfly, a bee, a mosquito, a snail, a bird and many more.

Our P-23 series is inspired by Delft tiles dating from the 2nd half of the 17th century which we expanded with several related animals and insects to be able to offer you a wide variety of scenes.

The photos shows the P-23 series painted on the blue mix. They have the pinholes but are without the crackled finish. This is our base configuration, but of course it can be completely fine-tuned to your preferences.


16 unique scenes
All the scenes in this series are inspired by 17th century reclaimed Delft tiles. There are 16 unique scenes depicting a wide variety of wildlife scenes, such as a spider in a web, a butterfly, a bee, a mosquito, a snail, a bird and many more. . By offering you as many unique scenes as possible, you will be able to create an installation which will allow you to always discover something new. In combination with each scene being hand-painted, you will never come across tiles which are completely identical.


Pinholes in the corners; pinholes were part of the production process before 1860. The tile was cut out of clay and to keep it steady while cutting it, a wooden board was placed on top of it with two, three or sometimes even four pins entering the clay (and thus the tile). Adding this enhancement creates two of these pinholes in each tile. It contributes to the authentic and imperfect look and feel of the tiles.

Crackled finish; Crazing is a phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of Delft tiles (and other ceramics). It happens over time (decades, if not centuries). This enhancement is really a matter of taste, as many consider it to be part of the antique experience, while others prefer a tile without. If you are looking for an aged and imperfect look, it is very much worth adding it. It suits the P-23 series given the time period they are based on.

Product disclaimer
These newly made Delft tiles are made with traditional methods and hand-painted by up to five different artists, so minor variations in colour, size and design are common. We do not offer machine made perfection, but do offer a very high quality standard. It allows us to make sure that our tiles are suitable to use for all indoor installations with the charm and imperfections Delft tiles are known for. They will last for decades, maybe even centuries.

    Antique tiles
    Antique tiles are handmade, so variations in color, size and texture are to be expected. Also, due to the age of the items, small chips and signs of use are common and considered to be part of antique tiles and the overall experience. Our tiles have been rinsed and cleaned intensely, making them suitable to be reused. However, we can never guarantee that all traces of sooth, salt or other forms of pollution have completely been extracted from the tiles. We expect our customers to be aware of this matter.

    Color accuracy
    Due to the relative inconsistencies of various display monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be a totally accurate reproduction of the actual product. We strive to make our colors as accurate as possible, but screen images are intended as a guide only and should not be regarded as absolutely correct.
