A pity they don't show more pictures, especially of the sides. But it looks like the same style, the hot pot-style made from the Middle Ages til the early 19th century. In order to date yours, it would help if you know where it was found.

Here is with almost same design of backside

 

And here is classification of designs
I believe the tile from topic is 16th - am i mistaked?

The SKD online museum tile is a very nice one. Again, the same concept.
Very nice site too. I could get lost in it, I am already looking at Dalmatian silver filigree.

 

In the text it says that in the second half of the 15th century the Blattkachel (this model tile) were fitted with a half cylinder at the back. That still doesn't date yours accurately, since they were made until the early 19th century.
The examples they give are examples of tiles in museums, they are not a date line. Each date is for that particular tile.

 

Thank you! but at this moment it is all that info i got...
Are you agree that it is definitely German culture artifact?

 

It says they originated in SW Germany. According to the Polish link they were used in parts of Central and Eastern Europe as well, so it is difficult to say where yours was made. Do you know where was it found?

 

Russia, near to Saint Petersburg

and 18th design of back side i think is different, and 19th we cancel since here is red clay, that became not that popular. But again - only assumptions
upd: one more link, first picture

Paul, you are comparing tiles found in SW Germany and in Poland to a tile found in northern Russia.
The Ettlingen tiles are box tiles. Of the tiles on the Polish site one is a box tile, the other has a very shallow cylinder ate the back. Both the Ettlingen and the Polish tiles are beautifully decorated. I see no resemblance to yours, except in the general concept of heating tiles.

The provenance of yours is interesting. There have been craftsmen of German origin in Russia since the Middle Ages. They worked in the big cities and in the designated German regions of Russia. I think that is where you should look. And I must say, that is a far more interesting area than Germany, where these tiles were common at one time.
Your surname sounds like there is a German or Bohemian connection, by the way. Maybe some of your ancestors lived in homes heated with these tiles, or even manufactured them. I can see some interesting research there.

 

Woow, anything is possible

 

but only one thing is the truth.........

 

Ain't that the truth!
