Poarte – G is one of nine white shades developed to reflect the deeper grey tones found in reclaimed antique Delft tiles. Its darker, cool undertone brings depth and contrast to interiors, making it a versatile choice for creating a striking yet timeless look. Poarte – G serves as a key component in several of our arranged mixes and pairs beautifully with both lighter and warmer tiles.
Poarte – G is part of the following arranged mixes: Grey Mix, Claes Mix, and the All-in Mix. Whether used as part of a mix or on its own, this shade adds a refined, bold character to any space.
Pinholes in the corners; pinholes pay homage to historical Delft tile production methods used before 1860. During this period, tiles were cut from clay stabilized by a wooden board with pins, leaving small corner indentations. By incorporating two pinholes per tile, we recreate the authentic imperfections that define original Delft tiles.
Crackled finish: The crackled finish mimics the fine surface cracks (crazing) that naturally develop on antique Delft tiles over time. This enhancement adds an aged effect, while some prefer the clean, uncrackled surface for a more contemporary look. The crackled finish is optional, allowing you to tailor the final appearance of the tile to suit your space.
