Tile with Dutch scene.
« on: January 17, 2008, 05:32:24 PM »
Sorry folks - it's me again.  This time with a tile (pot stand).  It has what looks to be a Dutch scene - with windmill and on the left handside a typical (I've been to A'dam 8) ;D) canal house.

Just wondering if this is a touristy thing, or may be an old tile that has been made into a stand.   It seems to have some age to it.  Can anyone throw any light on it please?  Another 50p bargain (I hope).

TIA  ;)

More information could be on the back side Anne.

Thanks Bas.  It's well and truly covered with felt, so I'll see if I can peel it off and have a look.  It can always be glued back on again.

Watch this space... ;)

I don't think I'll be able to remove the back.  Underneath the felt is a sturdy piece of hardboard which is stapled down with heavy duty staples in each corner.  I think this must be stapled to the frame.  I'm just a bit worried that if I prise it out I might damage the tile.  A-a-a-rgh!  ::)  May be it is a tourist one because of the way it is mounted?

Well, I don't know Anne it's still a nice piece, and would/could be dutch. Difficult to say. I'll try to search a dutch advertising site (like ebay but then for us dutch only) and see what I can find. Hold on....
