PORCELEYNE FLES DELFT CLOISONNE TILE - AMSTERDAM no res

The interesting thing about doing reviews for eBay auctions is that I get to learn stuff about things I was previously knowledgeable about, such as porcelain tile. While it is most commonly used for home improvement and the like, it is also an artistic medium, with many hand-painted designs up for grabs on eBay.

While many of them have zero bids on them, occasionally you see a truly unique piece, such as this one.

As the seller states, this is a pre-war piece with a lot of detail into the work and craft. Of course, it must go to the truly discerning buyer.
