Vintage framed polychrome Dutch windmill tile, Koninklijke Tichelaar, Makkum, Holland. See history below. The Dutch writeup on the back reads: “Soon after 1600, hand-shaped tiles were made from domestic clay and painted by hand in the Netherlands, building on a ceramic tradition from the Middle Ages. This method, with the tin glaze as a determining factor, has been followed in our company for more than three centuries. Each tile has its own character thanks to the dedication and craftsmanship of the painter.” This tile dates from the third quarter of the 20th century and is ready to hang. It measures 7″ square and is in excellent preowned vintage condition. Easel and props not included. The blue-and-white tile in the last image is available separately.

HISTORY (from online sources): Koninklijke Tichelaar B.V. (1572) is the oldest ceramics company in the Netherlands and, worldwide, a concept in the field of ceramics and glazes. A number of designs from the company’s collection are now among the icons of Dutch design history, and collaboration with architects also provides special designs that receive a lot of attention at home and abroad. Globally, in the 19th century, traditional techniques disappeared from the industrial production process. Koninklijke Tichelaar is one of the few remaining companies in the world that has always continued to invest in the traditional production processes.

I purchased two items from this shop. They arrived surprisingly quickly, and it was evident that extreme care was taken to ensure they arrived safely. I greatly appreciate the attention and extra care when packaging up the items. How sad it would be to purchase an antique that has survived multiple generations, only to be destroyed by USPS! Thank you so much for a wonderful shopping experience!
