Featured Delft Tile - Whose Mark? When?

I picked up this tile at a dealer's sale yesterday and have not found this mark online. I assume 20th Century and that may be why. But I'm still curious.

4.5 x 4.5 inches, with a picture frame edge. Buff clay, unglazed back. Incised mark (although the best picture I could get of the mark was from the side, giving it the look of standing out from the surface.) "Porcelain Pot" shape with the letters TL inside. Delft in modified script below. No "Made in" - would it have had a sticker for export?

One last thing - appears to have been made to hang. There's a thin back wire that goes into 2 small holes in the top edge, exiting on the back, ends wound together. Just enough slack to hang from a wall hook at the top.






These 2 views show how three-dimensional the image was made. The light colored lines are sharp!

 

Here's similar, I'm on my phone though and don't know how to translate the description.

$45 dollars? for all 3 I guess?

Very much the same look and the same mark. So Porceleyne Fles - which makes sense with the "pot." I didn't see anything that said when, but that's not a big deal. Interesting that the seller used the term "cloisonné" because I had been thinking it had that look.

Thanks, tyeldom!

 

Try: De Porceleyne Fles

 

Ok here it is translated and it's for 2 tiles.

Well good grief it still didn't come out translated but there's a blue link near the bottom left of page that reads translate page

 

Moreother - I had looked at all the dPF marks in the usual marks places, but didn't see one exactly the same. Assumed that meant it was either much newer than they cover or somebody else.

So now I know they did a whole series of these windmill pictures and I can look for others who may know when the series was done.

 

AKA tube lined.

Thanks, anund! Wow, there's a whole bunch of these!

 

Here's one, same mark, dated 1947, Koninklijke Porceleyne Fles.

I found one on eBay of larger size ( 9x5) but very similar image that has a gift inscription on the back dated 1951, so roughly mid-century?

 

I wonder what the 'N' in the jar stands for, that might be the key to a date range.

Here's a boat load to look at, I saw quite a few dating from the 40's, none any earlier.

Late to the party.

From the book Discovering Dutch Delftware by Van Hook about this version of their mark: "De Porceleyne Fles Cloisonne tile impression, ca 1945. This mark was impressed into Cloisonne tiles until around 1960."

 

Excellent, SIS!!

 

Oh forgot, the letters in the pot mark he says are JT, which would be for Joost Thooft the owner of the factory, written similar to the Greek Pi. On other marks and on later tiles the J and T are combined and look like the a script F.

 

Thanks! I was not expecting JT.

 

See ecrater.com sorry I can't link with the ipad, but several very similar to yours and they are asking $70 each

 

Hi, Does Anyone know of a forum to identity Dutch tiles?

 

You can try posting a new thread on this forum and see what happens. There are some Dutch folks on this board and lots of pottery folks.

I have some Dutch pottery and a few tiles but I do have some books with at least one on tiles. Someone might be able to help.

I'd not be shocked if there is a Facebook group that specializes in Dutch tiles.
