A striking and beautifully hand-painted antique Delft polychrome tile featuring a vivid floral vase motif framed in an intricate diamond border. Crafted in the Netherlands during the late 17th to early 18th century, this tile showcases the rich palette and decorative complexity of Dutch faience at its height — deep cobalt blue, warm ochre, and soft green glazes brought together under a smooth tin glaze.
Unlike the later blue-and-white Delftware, this colorful example highlights the influence of Iberian and Italian majolica styles on early Dutch artisans. Its substantial 5/8-inch thickness and slight irregularities reflect its hand-molded, kiln-fired origin. Perfect for collectors of antique ceramics, or as a unique framed decorative piece that celebrates centuries of European craftsmanship.
