Met de oprichting van ECTC werd een Engelstalig bulletin gepubliceerd met daarin internationale informatie over allerlei zaken op het gebied van tegels en bouwkeramiek.

In de periode 1993 - 2013 verscheen het bulletin tweejaarlijks door en voor een breed, internationaal netwerk. In de jaren daarna is de publicatie van bulletins door gebrek aan mankracht stil komen te liggen. Vanaf augustus 2018 is de tweejaarlijkse publicatie weer hervat.

Hieronder kunt u deze bulletins inzien. Het bovenste nummer is het nummer in opbouw en bevat de meest recente informatie.

Exhibition "Het aardewerk van de pottenbakkerij Dupont te Poperinge" (The earthenware of pottery Dupont in Poperinge), 8 - 15 October 2006, in Gasthuiskapel, Gasthuisstraat 3, Poperinge. Opening hours 10h - 12h and 13h30 - 17h. Pottery Dupont was working in Poperinge from 1846 till 1975, but it was the successor of an age-long tradition of potters at the Burgemeester Bertenplein in the centre of the city. Thanks to remains from the workshop, several earthenware shapes, a catalogue dated 1895 and the production books of Louis Verelst-Dupont, it was possible to reconstruct the production of this important earthenware centre.

The company names of Ivora, Goedewaagen, Regina, Zuid-Holland and Zenith are still vivid in the memory of Gouda’s older inhabitants, while the new wave of residents scarcely seem to know of their existence or the heritage of the buildings in their street. Some small earthenware enterprises remain, but the heady days of international success have faded. Traces can still be found in Gouda’s museums, but even here literature in English about the exhibits is sadly lacking.

Art Nouveau walk in Blankenberge In Blankenberge dateren nog heel wat woningen uit de periode tussen 1890 en 1915. Binnen dit patrimonium nemen de art nouveau panden een aparte plaats in. Rond 1900 kozen verschillende plaatselijke architecten voor vernieuwing. Ze volgden het voorbeeld van Victor Horta en andere Brusselse architecten en opteerden voor de art nouveau stijl. Rekening houdend met de weersomstandigheden aan de kust werd geglazuurde baksteen het materiaal bij uitstek voor de gevelbekleding, en algauw volgde de verfraaiing van gevels en terrassen met prachtige wandtegeltableaus. Wat kwaliteit, variatie en aantal van deze tegeltableaus betreft behoort Blankenberge bij de Europese topklasse.

Lecture BAECK, Mario - "Belgische vloer- en wandtegels 1840-1940, neo-stijlen, art nouveau en art deco", zondag 6 augustus 2006, 14u30, in: Mercatormuseum, Zamanstraat 49 (ingang in de tuin), 9100 Sint-Niklaas. Toegang € 2,50. Inlichtingen 03/760.37.56. De Belgische vloer- en wandtegelproductie uit de 19e en 20ste eeuw - met prachtige realisaties in neostijlen, art nouveau en art deco - krijgt de laatste jaren, ook internationaal, meer en meer aandacht. Dank zij een overvloed aan kleurrijk en verrassend beeldmateriaal brengt Mario Baeck niet alleen de historische en stilistische ontwikkeling van dit prachtige materiaal tot leven, hij staat ook stil bij de sociaal-economische aspecten, de diverse technieken en concurrerende materialen en geeft ook toelichting rond behoud en zorg voor dit lang verwaarloosde deel van ons bouwkundig erfgoed. Ook wordt aandacht besteed aan diverse opvallende realisaties in Sint-Niklaas en het Waasland en aan de rol van lokale bedrijven zoals Scheerders-Van Kerchove.

Order from: La Maison du Patrimoine, Allées de Carpinet, 33290, Blanquefort, Tél. +33 5 56 57 19 42, € 20. L'étude de plus de 1 000 éléments issus des fouilles de la forteresse médiévale de Blanquefort a permis à l'auteur de réaliser un inventaire complet de cette importante collection inédite et d'isoler 58 motifs différents, étudiés en parallèle avec les autres carreaux mis au jour sur différents sites de la Gironde. Ce travail à la méthodologie exemplaire - choix du vocabulaire, utilisation de la bibliographie, traitement du mobilier - devrait en outre constituer un outil de référence pour les futures recherches sur les carreaux de pavement médiévaux d'autres régions, dont l'étude est actuellement en plein développement.

Book JACOTIN, M. et HITZEL, F. - Céramiques Ottomanes d'Iznik, collections du Musée National de la Renaissance, éd. de la Réunion des Musées Nationaux, 224 p., 500 col. ill., 45 € . L’extraordinaire collection de céramiques silico-alcalines ottomanes souvent qualifiées à tort de "faïences d'Iznik" autrefois constituée par le Musée de Cluny est aujourd'hui présentée au Musée national de la Renaissance à Écouen (conservateur Thierry Crépin-Leblond). "Cet ouvrage présente enfin de manière exhaustive une collection unique au monde représentative de la production des ateliers d’Iznik et de Kütaya entre 1530 et le milieu du XVIIe siècle. Il met notamment en évidence les affinités que cette production entretient avec la majolique italienne, rappelant ainsi les relations ininterrompues et fructueuses entre les mondes chrétien et ottoman".

Book DELOR, J.P. - L'industrie de la tuile et de la brique au nord de l'Yonne, 254 p., 450 ill. coul., édité par l'Association Bourguignonne de Recherches céramiques, Dijon, 2005, 22 €, à commander directement au Siège social de l'ABRC, c/o Musée archéologique, 5, rue du Dr Maret, 21000 Dijon.
C'est à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle que l'habitat rural du nord de l'Yonne utilise la terre cuite architecturale, tuiles et briques qui remplacent la couverture de chaume et les pans de bois. Cette industrie va connaître son maximum d'expansion vers 1870 pour péricliter avec le conflit de 1914-1918. Trois enquêtes menées dans le Senonais, au sud de la forêt d'Othe et dans l'Aillantais permettent d'apprécier divers aspects de cette activité : l'évolution de la production, la diffusion locale et sur la région parisienne, l'aspect architectural des constructions nouvelles, l'endogamie des tuiliers…

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.

L'engouement pour ce type de décor fut tel qu'il fut utilisé pour les plates tombes, particulièrement en Normandie qui, avec l'Angleterre, était une terre de production des pavages. Les décors céramiques, important domaine du répertoire gothique, se sont bien entendu inspirés des styles déjà existants comme ceux des manuscrits.
