Book VAN LEMMEN, Hans - Delftware tiles. Shire Publications Ltd, Shire Album 179, March 2005, 48pp, 97 colour ills. ISBN 0 7478 0611 X. Italian potters brought the art of making tin-glazed tiles to the Low Counties in the early 16th century. Native potters copied the technique and in the 17th century they began to manufacture the distinctive blue and white Dutch tiles. Huge quantities were produced during the 17th and 18th centuries, first in the Netherlands and later in Britain. Because the best tiles and other tin-glazed pottery came from Delft, the name of that town became associated with this ware. This book traces the history of delftware tiles, describes how they were made and explains the differences between Dutch and English delftware tiles.

Museum acquisition The Philadelphia Museum of Art has acquired three tile panels in the style of Art Nouveau. These panels are a fitting acquisition because of the continuation into the present of the Museum's extensive collection of Dutch tiles from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The first panel is produced by Joost Thooft & Labouchère around 1903, the second, named Juffertje in 't geel, by the Koninklijke Porselein en Aardewerk Fabriek Rozenburg around 1905, and the third by the Plateelbakkerij De Distel around 1906.
