Two Delft tiles

These are two splendid Dutch Delft tiles, made in the 18th century, characterized by hand-painted manganese decoration, a typical tone of ceramics from this period. Each measures approximately 13x13 cm. The first tile represents a rural scene with buildings, probably Dutch houses, trees, and a fence, with refined details and a simple perspective. The second tile depicts a pastoral scene with two figures: a man with a spear and a feathered hat, and a woman, set in a natural landscape, enclosed in a circular medallion. Both tiles feature typical stylized floral decorations at the corners, which balance the central compositions. These pieces reflect the artisanal and artistic tradition of Delft, famous for its glazed and decorated ceramics with landscape and figurative motifs. One tile is broken at the top and has slight chips.
