P-16 series – Landscapes
The P-16 series showcases a wide collection of hand-painted Delft wall tiles featuring Dutch landscapes scenes decorated with classic spider curl (PCM-02) corner motifs . The tiles shown here are painted on our Warm Mix base and finished with pinholes and a subtle crackled layer. This is our standard version, but the tiles can easily be customized to match your aesthetic preferences.
32 unique animal scenes
Each scene in the P-16 series comes directly from 17th-century reclaimed tiles, carefully redrawn and brought back to life by hand. You’ll find everything from windmills and cottages to water wells and birds resting by the water’s edge, each one drawn with delicate detail. With such a wide range of classis scenes, the P-16 series is perfect for larger installations. The hand-painted quality means each tile carries slight differences in line and tone, making every tile it’s own unique artwork.
Pinholes in the corners
Before 1860, tile makers used wooden boards with small pins to steady the clay while shaping it, which left pinholes in the surface. Today, we replicate this traditional detail by including two pinholes per tile. As a result, the tiles retain the handcrafted, slightly imperfect charm that defines historic Delft tilework.
Crackled finish
Over time, Delft tiles naturally develop a fine web of surface cracks, known as crazing, which many see as a sign of age and character. To help recreate that aged appearance, we offer a crackled finish as an optional enhancement. While some prefer a cleaner look, this finish adds warmth, depth, and an unmistakably antique feel that suits this series beautifully.

Product disclaimer
We use traditional techniques to make our Delft tiles, and up to five artists may contribute to the painting process. Because of this, slight variations in size, color, and detail are to be expected, and celebrated. Although we don’t offer machine-like perfection, we do uphold a high standard of craftsmanship. These tiles are built to last and will continue to age gracefully for decades, or even centuries, to come.
