Vintage Framed Dutch Ceramic Tichelaars Royal Makkumer Pottery Tile | Sailing Boat

A gorgeous hand painted framed tile depicting a sailing boat on the ocean is beautifully decorative and has some fascinating information on the reverse in Dutch that reads: 

This old Dutch tile was made by Tichelaars Royal Makkumer Pottery. Soon after 1600, hand-shaped tiles were made from Frisian clay in Makkum, building on a ceramic tradition, and hand-painted using the tin glaze technique. This working method has been followed in our company for more than three centuries: each tile has its own character thanks to the dedication and craftsmanship of the painter.
