PCM-01 | Spider
The Spider corner motif Delft Tile (PCM 01) is one of the most iconic and recognizable designs in Delft tile tradition. With its refined, stylized lines, this corner motif has been a staple of Delft tile production across four centuries, from the 17th century to today. Its timeless appeal lies in its simplicity and balance, making it suitable for traditional, modern, and transitional interiors.
Unlike its counterpart, PCM 02, this motif is free from additional curls, offering a more understated elegance. The Spider corner motif can be combined with plain tiles, decorated tiles, or used entirely on its own to create a cohesive design scheme. Additionally, this motif can be applied to any tile in our decorated series, offering endless possibilities for customization.
The tiles shown in the photos on this page are displayed without the crackled finish and pinholes. Both enhancements can be added upon request to achieve a more aged and authentic look.
Timeless craftsmanship and tradition
Each tile is meticulously hand-painted, preserving the artistry Delft tiles are celebrated for. Available in traditional Delft blue, manganese, or custom colors, the Spider corner motif can be tailored to your specific interior needs. Corner motifs have long been an iconic feature of Delft tiles, but tiles featuring only corner motifs became widely popular around 1900. This enduring design captures the essence of Delft tile heritage while offering versatility for both classic and contemporary interiors.
Pinholes in the corners; pinholes replicate the historical detail left by stabilizing pins used during Delft tile production before approximately 1860. These small indentations can be added to the Spider corner motif tiles for a truly authentic and imperfect look, adding to their timeless charm.
Crackled finish; the optional crackled finish adds fine surface cracks (crazing), mimicking the aged appearance of antique tiles. If a cleaner, more contemporary look is preferred, the crackled finish can be omitted.
