Offered here today is an ANTIQUE 19th Century (could very well be older) DELFT Tile portraying a single Large OSTRICH standing in a patch of vegetation. OSTRICHES in themselves are a rarity, but couple that with the detailed painting and condition, and you have a very fine piece. It is MULTI-colored and measures about 5 1/4" square. This tile looks to have been set in the past (VERY little residue visible), but is near perfect condition with crazing (see 2nd picture). I got this tile in Amsterdam, The Netherlands in the 70's-80's. It was obviously from a collector as the condition is near perfect...check out the reverse. I have rarely seen such quality and condition in an old piece. As always, NO RESERVE, after a very fair opening bid. I'm always glad to combine items, so check out my other listings. Shipping will be PRIORITY WITH INSURANCE for a flat $10 charge for the USA; ANY excess over the ACTUAL POSTAGE will be refunded to buyer. I will ship outside the USA, but shipping cost will depend on buyer's choice of service and location. I do NOT try to profit on the shipping price, but it is nearly impossible to figure out costs until the item is packed and ready to go where and how the buyer choses. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions or request any additional pictures. California residents are responsible for sales tax or read more
