A late 18th century Dutch Delft tile made from tin glazed earthenware with blue and white decoration. It has a hand painted scene of two men and a dog stood under a tree in the foreground.

In the background is a low island with houses, a church, castle towers, all amongst trees.  The scene is painted across the whole of the tile, it is completely border-less.

In good antique condition with a chip to each bottom corner, no cracks nor restoration, there is some glaze crazing. It has been previously bonded to a wall.  Please see the images.
