Overview
Poarte - H
Our Poarte - H shade is one of nine white shades we developed to reflect the original subtle grey tones found in reclaimed antique Delft tiles. This newly made tile captures the authentic look and feel of original Delft work and serves as a base for our arranged mixes and hand-painted decorated Delft tiles.
Poarte - H is featured in the Colourful mix, All-in mix, Grey mix and Claes mix , but you're also welcome to create your own combination or use it on its own.
Please note that photos may not always represent the shade accurately due to lighting and screen differences. To experience the true color and texture, we recommend ordering our sample package, which includes all white shades along with finish options.
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.
