Overview
P-28 series – Sea creatures
The P-28 series is based on an original Delft tile set from around 1760, originally produced in the Dutch city of Rotterdam. These tiles are painted in classic Delft blue on our Poarte-E shade, detailed with pinholes and finished with the spider curl corner motif (PCM-02). This is our standard setup, though we’re happy to adjust the base, tone, or details to fit your vision.
16 unique scenes
This lively series features 32 hand-painted tiles based on original reclaimed Delft tiles from the 18th century. These tiles feature all kinds of sea-themed designs, from mermaids and mermen to quirky sea creatures, ships, and boats, echoeing the curiosity and folklore of the time. With so many different scenes, you can create a wall that feels full of movement and personality. And because each tile is painted by hand, every piece brings its own rhythm and charm to the overall composition.
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.
