For centuries, ceramic wall tiles have been an integral part of European decorative art, especially in countries like the Netherlands, Spain, and Portugal. In the Dutch tradition, Delft tiles became widely popular from the 17th century onward, known for their distinctive blue-on-white designs and depictions of daily life, landscapes, or biblical scenes. Originally used to protect and embellish walls around fireplaces and stoves, they gradually became cherished art pieces in their own right. Today, vintage ceramic tiles remain highly collectible and continue to add timeless charm to interior spaces.
