<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 344154, member: 90&quot;]I not only have doubts about the age of the tile I now also doubt its origin. Your tile, as stated, appears to be red. This clearly implies it was made with a terracotta clay.</p><p>Dutch clay was a mixture of light, whitish local Tournai clay, Rhineland clay and lime rich Marl (imagine the White Cliffs of Dover on a summer afternoon). Thus the color of Delft clay varies from a Buff-Cream to White, never red.</p><p>I have often seen these tiles replicated. Many modern examples come from Asia and China.The owl on this tile appears to be so crudely done that I suspect it was made so as to give the appearance of having been created by an untrained amateur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
