Tiles With Vintage Appeal

DUTCH TILE FRAMED ART


The crackled ivory colored frames add a nice vintage look to these Dutch tile reproductions...


READY-TO-HANG TILES

The inky tones of this Dutch tile do not photograph well but this ready-to-hang tile bought in Amsterdam, depicts a typical Dutch village scence from days gone by, complete with windmill and horse-drawn carriage!



EUROPEAN TILE TRIVETS



I'm not sure what this is but it definitely has a European Old World flavor. It's framed in wood, like a trivet and serves well as a spoon rest. If anyone has some idea, please feel free to share the origins of this piece!

SPODE COASTERS


I thought I'd include these coasters because they have such a hard ceramic-like finish and are so much like tiles...
