Overview

SAMPLES of our newly made plain white Delft tiles can be ordered here. For a custom sample package, please contact us.


The ‘blue mix’ is a classic mix of 3 classic shades of white with tones of blue, grey and white. The combination of these shades lead to the classic look and feel of the original 18th and 19th century plain white tiles that we mainly find in farm and canal houses in the northern provinces of the Netherlands. By adding the crackled finish and pinholes (read more below about these enhancements), the tiles will look even more aged, imperfect and authentic. Working with these tiles really adds an unique and elegant touch to every project.

The first photo shows the ‘blue mix’ with the crackled finish and pinholes. The photos with an overlay show the base version of these tiles without enhancements and a selection of 16 tiles with the crackled finish and pinholes. Please read more about the possibilities below and in the specifications tab.


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.

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.
