Decorative Delft-Style Ceramic Tile with Pastoral Scene This square glazed ceramic tile, measuring approximately 15 cm x 15 cm, features a raised relief design with a pastoral scene. The foreground depicts a woman in traditional European attire, including a blue skirt and white blouse with a kerchief, carrying two buckets. She is accompanied by a black-and-white cow grazing on grassy terrain. The background shows rural structures, including a red barn, a peaked-roof farmhouse, and a windmill, surrounded by trees and a cloudy sky. Framed by a brown ceramic border and designed for wall hanging with a black cord, the tile bears the embossed markings "Delft" in cursive script and "FRIESLAND" in block capitals on the reverse. These inscriptions suggest it originates from Friesland, a Dutch region known for Delft-style pottery. Produced in the mid-20th century, this decorative tile reflects the Dutch cultural and artistic heritage often associated with Delftware.
