Poarte – H is the brightest of our nine classic white shades, developed to reflect the crisp tones found in reclaimed antique Delft tiles. With its subtle greyish undertone, Poarte – H offers a clean yet timeless aesthetic, bringing a fresh and refined feel to any space. This shade is ideal for creating contrast within arranged mixes or as a stand-alone option for a bright, understated look.
Poarte – H is part of the following arranged mixes: Grey Mix, Colourful Mix, and the All-in Mix. Whether used individually or in combination with other shades, Poarte – H adds a soft, sophisticated presence to your project.
Pinholes in the corners; Pinholes are a hallmark of historic Delft tile production, dating back to methods used before 1860. Tiles were cut from clay placed beneath a wooden board secured by pins, which left small indentations at the corners. By incorporating two pinholes into each tile, we maintain the authentic and slightly imperfect character Delft tiles are known for.
Crackled finish; Over time, antique Delft tiles develop fine surface cracks known as crazing. Our crackled finish recreates this aged effect, adding warmth and depth to the tiles. For a smoother, more contemporary look, the crackled finish can be omitted based on your preference.
