Our Delft tile collection reimagines the timeless beauty of traditional Dutch ceramics. Each design is crafted using AI to capture the characteristic blue and white palette and intricate details of Delft pottery, while introducing fresh, contemporary elements.

Our flagship style, this look is minimalistic and spare with the classic web (or 'spin' in Dutch) corner motif. It is detailed and crisp, with consistent corners.
Some Delftware artisans took the minimalist approach of their craft to the extreme, leaving the corners of their tiles empty. This style does that as well and aspires to a stylishly spare, almost abstract look.
In Delftware, Chinese meander patterns are a distinctive feature that reflects the influence of Chinese porcelain on Dutch pottery. These corner motifs patterns consist of interlocking lines forming a continuous, maze-like design.
Alongside the classic blue and white, the Dutch also used manganese to create richly purple tiles, emerging in the late 17th century and that represent a distinctive phase in Delftware production. These tiles, characterized by their rich, deep purple hues derived from manganese oxide, showcase intricate designs that blend Dutch artistic traditions with diverse foreign influences.
Similar stylistically to the web and fleur-de-lys styles, this is a minimal and traditional style, with a vine leaf (called wingerdblad in Dutch) in each corner.
I don't think I've seen my husband so excited as when he opened the tiles today! They are truly amazing. The quality, the slight bumpiness, and of course the translation of our silly prompts. All astounding.

In front of me is what appears to be an authentic Delft tile. The surface of the tile is mottled, and painted on to it is a picture of a man. The blue tones blur and fade into the edges. Delicate brush strokes are visible if you peer closely. It looks as though it were made many years ago. Except it wasn’t. It was designed this morning by artificial intelligence and created in a small factory near Stoke-on-Trent, using some of the most advanced printing technology available.
