Ivory 1 is the mid-tone in our collection of three ivory shades, offering a perfect balance between warmth and subtlety. With its soft, neutral character, Ivory 1 bridges the light brightness of Ivory and the deeper tone of Ivory 2, making it an essential element in the Ivory Mix.

This shade lends itself beautifully to modern interiors, either as part of a mix or used individually. Like all our ivory tones, Ivory 1 provides a contemporary alternative for plain installations and serves as an elegant base for our hand-painted decorated series.


Pinholes in the corners; pinholes are a feature inspired by the traditional tile-making process before 1860, where clay tiles were stabilized with a wooden board held in place by pins. These small corner indentations add an authentic, timeless detail, which can be incorporated into Ivory 1 for an aged and historic appearance.

Crackled finish; the crackled finish replicates the fine surface cracks, or crazing, that develop on antique Delft tiles over time. This optional enhancement enhances the depth and character of Ivory 1, adding a subtle texture that complements its contemporary feel. For a smoother, modern aesthetic, the crackled finish can be omitted.

  • How can the tiles be cleaned?
    Clean tile surfaces with a non-abrasive, mild and PH neutral cleaner. Neutral cleaners are devoid of acids, caustics, harsh fillers, or abrasives that could scratch the surface of the tile. Do not use abrasive cleaning pads, steel wool, metal brushes or scouring pads as these may scratch the surface of the glaze. Crackled tiles that will face regular wet use should be sealed after installation and periodically as needed.
