Product Description

(Click to Enlarge)

It is my pleasure to offer you this magnificent antique tile produced by The Royal Porceleyne Fles in Delft.

De Porceleyne Fles was founded in 1653 however it got famous when Joost Thooft took over this small factory at Delft in 1876. He produced traditional blue on white Delft ware and tile tableaus but with a new technique.

The painters of Royal Delft are trained in the factory starting off with simple designs in blue/white on the smaller pieces. A painter first has to learn how to paint the little flowers and leaves that so characteristically adorn Delftware vases and the borders of Delftware plates. The painters then gradually progress to larger pieces with more complicated designs. Only the master painters, who have trained at the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague paint the elaborate landscape and Dutch masters pieces.

As early as 1878 and 1879 contemporary Dutch artists entered into agreement with the Porceleyne Fles to allow their paintings to be copied. Landscapes were introduced to production, soon followed by genre paintings. Josef Israëls, Johannes Bosboom, Frederik Jacob van Rossum du Chattel, Anton Mauve, Otto Eerelmann, and Hendrik Willem Mesdag (all members of the artist's society "Pulchry Studio" in The Hague) played an important role. Contacts were easy because Adolf Lecomte, the artistic leader of The Porceleyne Fles was the brother in law of Anton Mauve.

About 40 artists collaborated and many times the original artist painted the ceramic as a first example> Several paintings were made originally for The Porceleyne Fles. Since there was no copyright law at that time (introduced in 1912) other ceramic factories (Boch, Regout) profiteered from this lack of legal protection.

This tile is after a painting of Ferdinand Bernhard Hoppe. He was born in Kleef (Germany) in 1831 and died in Amsterdam (1922). It is framed in its original red pinewood frame which is painted and glossy polished in black at the front. The tile is fixed with 2 turnable wooden clasps.

The early tile is fully marked at the back side with the yearmark H (=1886), the Royal Delft Logo, The stylized JT of Joost Thooft and the painters initials VP (= Mr. P.F. Vreeswijk who worked at De Porceleyne Fles from 1985-1934).
