Circa: 1850 Condition: used Size: 4.4 inches square Color: blue, white Manufacturer: unknown Dutch maker
This is an antique tile with a pearl ware glaze of a flow blue hand painted castle design made 1850-1870s. The tile photo does not accurately show the bluish tinge to the white. Although I found it in England I am unsure if it was made there or in Holland or Germany. The tile was obviously previously used in a fireplace surround or other tiling use. The tile face is in excellent condition with 2 glaze dimples from manufacturing. The back has mortar residue. A wonderful antique architectural element.
