<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nathan Lindop, post: 344123, member: 5285&quot;]A stylised owl in ‘Italian circle band design’, corner motifs are quarter rosettes also from Italian style.</p><p><br /></p><p>I made an earlier thread talking about my girlfriends aunt buying a lot with four delft tiles in and I saw this one as instantly interesting. Initially some people met it with doubts of it being as old as the style suggests. But I now have pictures of the tiles back. It is very thick and the clay is red. What I’ve read leads me to this being extremely early.</p><p><br /></p><p>But it’s not the same duller red that I can find online. The rosettes in the corners are reminiscent of the Italian styles than inspired early 16th and 17th Century delftware. It looks to me to be a bad forgery because of the brightness of the red and the really good condition of the tiles. The paint colours aren’t consistent with early delftware tiles. Need a little help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the briefness of detail in the post just excited to know sooner rather than later <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":shame:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Not dissimilar to this : <a href="http://blog.antiquetileshop.com/history-of-dutch-delft-tiles/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://blog.antiquetileshop.com/history-of-dutch-delft-tiles/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.antiquetileshop.com/history-of-dutch-delft-tiles/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]116074[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]116075[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]116092[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
