It is made in the cuenca, or raised line process, and is covered in RD's exceptional crystalline glazes. The tile measures 4 1/4" square and it is housed in an old Arts and Crafts era frame in a fine dark finish and profile. The backing paper was cut so that the impressed mark is visible. Overall it measures 8 1/4" square and 3/4" deep.
Although Dutch, these tiles were often sold in the USA by the Pardee Tile Company of Perth Amboy, NJ in the 1920's, along with their stock of Grueby tiles.
