Dutch (‘Delftse') antique tiles are collectibles with great historical value. They are small authentic beautiful pieces of antique art from the 17th century, often with an interesting representation of this time. These majolica tiles are a type of pottery in which an earthenware clay body (usually a red pottery) is coated with an opaque white glaze (traditionally a lead glaze including tin), then painted with stains or glazes and fired. From about the 16th century, the Dutch were introduced to the technique of painting pottery in bright, glossy colours. At Lokken-Ausema we have been collecting tiles for a long time.
