Delftware tiles!

There were hundreds of fabulous examples to choose from in the Victoria & Albert Museum’s online catalogue, but I eventually settled on nine.

These 18th-century ships, shepherds, castles, figures, and flowers brought me joy. I hope they’ll do the same for you, too.
A square arrangement of 9 individual biscuit tiles painted in rich shades of blue and made to look old, chipped, and cracked. On the top row, there is: a ship with billowing sails approaching a dock with two stylized ducks or geese in the foreground; a delicate flower motif in the centre of a bright white tile with deep blue detail at each corner; a cracked tile depicting two figures in rustic historical dress looking out to sea, accompanied by a small dog. The middle row features: a roughly painted castle surrounded by an octagonal frame; an intricate floral arrangement with an angel at each of the tile’s four corners; a cluster of rustic buildings with boat sails and a flock of birds in the distance. Finally, the bottom row of biscuits includes: a figure fishing in the foreground of a multi-storey round tower; a woman wearing a flowing eighteenth-century gown, encircled by a deep blue floral pattern; a small vase of flowers in the centre of an aged white biscuit.
