Bulletin ECTC
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.

In Dutch
Frans Klein, Story Tiles, Tegels met een verhaal, Vier eeuwen traditie
Tien jaar geleden begon Marga van Oers voor haar afstudeerproject met het bewerken van oud-hollandse tegels. Het resultaat was de start van een serie tegels met een knipoog naar het verleden. Haar tegels passen prima bij bepaalde gebeurtenisseb in het leven zoals verliefdheid, huwelijk, reizen en jubilea. Op de huidige expositie In het Nederlands Tegelmuseum zijn diverse tegels naast elkaar gezet met min of meer hetzelfde thema waarvan in de catalogus een overzicht is gemaakt.
56 pagina’s. Uitgever: Nederlands Tegelmuseum. Aldaar verkrijgbaar voor 5 euro.
Jalf Flach en Wim den Hartog, Bezielde Schoonheid, Art Nouveau bouwdecoratie in Nederland.
De lopende expositie '" Bezielde Schoonheid" is gebaseerd op het boek van Wim den Hartog, keramist te Ede en Jalf Flach, kenner van de Art Nouveau. Samen hebben ze ruim 250 gebouwen in Nederland onderzocht uit de periode van de Art Nouveau op siersmeedwerk, glas in lood en tegeltableaus. Het resultaat is een boek met meer dan 900 foto’s van Wim den Hartog en teksten van Jalf Flach.

Jan Pluis, Beroepen op tegels 1620 - 2000
Deze publicatie behandelt tegels en tegeltableaus waarop beroepen en ambachten zijn afgebeeld. Het accent ligt op tegels uit Friesland en Utrecht uit de negentiende en twintigste eeuw.
De bloeitijd van tegels met beroependecors valt in de zeventiende eeuw, en wel in de periode 1620 tot 1680. Pas in de negentiende eeuw worden er, als gevolg van de belangstelling voor de kunst en cultuur van de zeventiende eeuw, weer tegelseries met beroepen gemaakt. Jan Pluis geeft in deze publicatie per fabriek een overzicht van de series. De vele afbeeldingen omvatten, naast de beroepentegels zelf, ook bewaard gebleven sponsen en beeldmateriaal dat als voorbeeld voor de beroependecors kan hebben gediend. Paperback, 2023, 156 blz., ca. 700 ill. in kleur
ISBN 978-90-5997-390-9. Prijs € 24,50, verkrijgbaar o.a. in de winkel van ons museum.
Jan Pluis, Vogels op Tegels en tegeltableaus, 1900 – 2000
Zo lang er in Nederland tegels zijn vervaardigd, behoren vogels tot het repertoire van de tegelschilder. Vogeltegels, met name die uit de zeventiende eeuw, vormen geliefde verzamelobjecten. In de achttiende eeuw werden maar weinig vogeltegels geproduceerd, maar met de negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor alles wat Oudhollands was, kwamen de zeventiende-eeuwse vogeldecors opnieuw in productie. In deze publicatie wordt vooral aandacht besteed aan vogeltegels uit de twintigste eeuw uit Makkum, Harlingen en Utrecht. De series konden worden gereconstrueerd dankzij bewaard gebleven sponsen. 96 pagina’s. Uitgever Primavera Pers. ISBN : 9789059973787.

Mirjam Molenaar, Het Vuur van de Vreemdeling
Voor de liefhebber van een historische roman met veel aandacht voor de Friese keramiek.
Het Vuur van de Vreemdeling is Molenaars debuutroman, die in twee delen uitgegeven wordt. Ze begon haar carrière als keramist, en werkte ruim twintig jaar in het voortgezet onderwijs. Gedreven door een fascinatie voor zowel jonge mensen en identiteitsontwikkeling als voor oude ambachten, beschrijft ze in dit boek niet alleen de tweede Nederlands-Engelse oorlog, maar ook de identiteitsstrijd van de drie jongens, en de harde wereld van grond en klei bij de Harlinger plateelbakkers. Fries blauw was een belangrijk exportproduct, maar de jongens die het maakten stonden letterlijk met hun blote voeten in de aarde. In deze roman hebben, behalve drie jonge mannen, een paar sterke vrouwen uiteindelijk een doorslaggevende rol.
Marcel La Rose, Piet Bolwerk, Hoeder van cultuurhistorie op twee continenten.
Interessant boek over het leven van Piet Bolwerk, oud directeur van het Nederlands Tegelmuseum in de periode 1975 – 1999. Veel aandacht voor zijn activiteiten in Suriname en een mooi beeld van de beginjaren van het museum.

Yann Martineau, Waarheid, eenvoud en kracht, Hendrik Jacob Dammerman Jr. (1873-1922) .
Verbaasd over de weinige hoeveelheid informatie die te vinden is over de architect H.J. Dammermann Jr. ,die zijn eigen woonhuis ontwierp in 1904, startte Yann Martineau een speurwerk naar de door de architect nagelaten sporen in de straten van Den Haag, waaronder veel tegeltableaus.
Gefascineerd door de hoeveelheid gevonden elementen besluit hij de resultaten van zijn onderzoek in 2022 te publiceren ter gelegenheid van het honderdste sterfjaar van de architect.

Jan Pluis, Vogels op Tegels en tegeltableaus, 1900 – 2000
Zo lang er in Nederland tegels zijn vervaardigd, behoren vogels tot het repertoire van de tegelschilder. Vogeltegels, met name die uit de zeventiende eeuw, vormen geliefde verzamelobjecten. In de achttiende eeuw werden maar weinig vogeltegels geproduceerd, maar met de negentiende-eeuwse belangstelling voor alles wat Oudhollands was, kwamen de zeventiende-eeuwse vogeldecors opnieuw in productie. In deze publicatie wordt vooral aandacht besteed aan vogeltegels uit de twintigste eeuw uit Makkum, Harlingen en Utrecht. De series konden worden gereconstrueerd dankzij bewaard gebleven sponsen. 96 pagina’s. Uitgever Primavera Pers. ISBN : 9789059973787.

Antoon Ott. Verzameldrift, Biografie van Nanne Ottema (1874-1955)
Nanne Ottema (1874-1955) was als bestuurder, conservator, notaris, publicist en spreker actief in het Friese culturele leven. Hij stelde een beroemde keramiekcollectie samen die resulteerde in het Keramiekmuseum Princessehof in Leeuwarden. Zijn collectie, met meer dan 5000 tegels en het door hem vergaarde vermogen liet hij na aan de door hem en zijn vrouw Grietje Kingma in 1938 opgerichte Ottema-Kingma Stichting, die zijn levenswerk voortzette. In zijn tijd was hij een vermaard, berucht en dominant persoon. In deze biografie wordt het leven van Ottema uitvoerig beschreven met veel foto’s die het verhaal ondersteunen waaronder een aantal tegels.

Azulejo Flowers - From The 15th Century Up To Now
A typical coffee table book showing a lot of Spanish and Portuguese floral tiles from the 15th century to this day. A book with many illustrations and not so much text.
The tin-glazed ceramic tilework known as ‘azulejo’ has a long tradition in Portugal and Spain. Its production was also widespread in former colonies and drew upon local influences. Azulejo artists were influenced by different movements and styles, from the ‘manuelino’ (mixing elements of Gothic, Mauritanian, and Indian motifs) to modernism and later 20th-century styles. Azulejos were often used in the 16th century to decorate church interiors, especially around the altar. Throughout the history of this ceramic tradition, flowers are a prominently recurring motif. From floral Arabesque patterns to modern interpretations, this collection features an array of beautiful examples. 304 p, ills colour, 23 x 30 cm, English. Publisher Massimiliano Piretti Editore. ISBN 9788864761008. Price €95.65 See:

Dit boek gaat over enkele bijzondere types keramiek die tussen 1891 en circa 1914 werden vervaardigd bij de Delftse keramiekfabriek De Porceleyne Fles, en die kunnen worden gerekend tot de meest interessante representanten van de oplevende keramiekproductie van rond 1900 in Nederland.

Azulejo Flowers - From The 15th Century Up To Now
A typical coffee table book showing a lot of Spanish and Portuguese floral tiles from the 15th century to this day. A book with many illustrations and not so much text.
The tin-glazed ceramic tilework known as ‘azulejo’ has a long tradition in Portugal and Spain. Its production was also widespread in former colonies and drew upon local influences. Azulejo artists were influenced by different movements and styles, from the ‘manuelino’ (mixing elements of Gothic, Mauritanian, and Indian motifs) to modernism and later 20th-century styles. Azulejos were often used in the 16th century to decorate church interiors, especially around the altar. Throughout the history of this ceramic tradition, flowers are a prominently recurring motif. From floral Arabesque patterns to modern interpretations, this collection features an array of beautiful examples. 304 p, ills colour, 23 x 30 cm, English. Publisher Massimiliano Piretti Editore. ISBN 9788864761008. Price €95.65 See:

Frans Caignie red.. Raakvlakken tussen oost en west – onderzoek van geometrische tegeldecors uit de Nederlanden / Crossroads between East and West - study of geometric tile designs from the Netherlands . In de Nederlanden zijn tegels met een geometrisch patroon rond 1600 in de mode geweest geïnspireerd door Spaanse/Moorse motieven. Daarna is het geometrisch patroon wellicht wat op de achtergrond geraakt, maar voor wie beter kijkt zeker niet verdwenen. Met name in de Nederlandse tegels met een gesprenkeld decor zijn combinaties van vierkanten, kwadraten en sterpatronen te herkennen. En tot op de dag van vandaag laten vele keramisten zich nog inspireren door de mogelijkheden van het eindeloos repeterend patroon. Tweetalig Nederlands-Engels. 224 pagina’s.

Den Haag, Kunstmuseum, Exhibition:Chinese Glass,Imperial Treasure.Chinese glass is rare all over the word, as China does not have a culture of glass like in Europe, where glass has been used to make drinking vessels since the Roman period. Modern methods of glass production were introduced to China by French Jesuits in the late seventeenth century, as part of an exchange of techniques and materials. But unlike in Europe at that time, the Chinese did not attempt to produce colourless, transparent glass. They used it mainly to imitate other more valuable materials, like agate, quartz, garnet, jade, marble and porcelain.20 February 2021 till 24 May 2021.

Max Put. Art Nouveau in Amsterdam 1895-1910. Amsterdam is beroemd om zijn architectuur, maar Art Nouveau is er nauwelijks te vinden. Hiervoor moet je naar Den Haag of naar steden als Brussel en Parijs. Amsterdam was er te nuchter voor, zo luidt de gangbare mening. Auteur Max Put schetst in dit prachtig geïllustreerde boek echter een heel ander beeld: Amsterdam is buitengewoon rijk aan gebouwen met kenmerken van de Art Nouveau. Een apart hoofdstuk, geschreven door Pim van Schaik, van 38 bladzijden met veel foto's is gewijd aan tegels. 256 Pagina's. Uitgever: Stokerkade cultuurhistorische uitgeverij, Amsterdam 2020.

THE ADVENTURES OF 18th-CENTURY DUTCH TILES from the Hermitage Collection in the Kingdom of the Netherlands of the 21st Century, by Yuri Molodkovets (pictures), Ekaterina Andreeva and Roxana Rebrova (text). 120 pages.
A report of 3 Russians who visited Holland in 2019 to find parallels between the images on the tiles of the early 18th century and the modern life of the inhabitants of the Lower Countries. These tiles had been brought to Russia during the reign of Tsar Peter I, the Great. Some are still in situ and others have been removed and ended as debris. Some of these removed tiles haven been recovered in th 1970's and are now in the collection of the Hermitage Museum. In this book various tiles can bee seen with pictures of nowadays Holland. The idea was supported by the General Director of the State Hermitage Mikhail Borisovich Piotrovsky and the Consulate General of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in St Petersburg.
When the book is available for the general public is not clear yet.
