Tile Rose (700) Delft Blue

DESCRIPTION Delft Blue pottery and tattoos may not be the most obvious combination, but they have more in common than thought. Parallels can be found in origin, meaning, craft and mastery. Especially for this collaboration, Henk Schiffmacher has made a number of unique objects with the master painters of Royal Delft, where the two worlds literally touch. This tile has a pretty rose on it, a symbol often used in the tattoo art.

The craft of painting is at the core of the company, although other decoration techniques have been developed over the years to create high-end earthenware. Carry on reading to discover the two different techniques that Royal Delft uses to this very day to make unique blue and white objects. Transfer Technique The decoration on these products is applied by using a transfer technique that was developed in England in the 18th century. In those days an engraved copper sheet with wet ink was pressed on tissue paper and afterwards the tissue paper was pressed on a ceramic surface. Finally, the ceramics were fired at a low temperature and the decoration appeared on the product. Nowadays the transfer is made with a screen print.
