Delft Tiles

Hello, art tiles tableau by Joost Thooft Labouchere. Can't seem to find anything similar, date, value etc. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

My guess is that there are more markings under the backing.

De Porcelyne Fles made a line called Sandelfo designed by Herman Sanders (1957-1977) that is very much this style. (Dating info from Van Hook's book Discovering Dutch Delftware.) You might look that direction.

I have a small Sandelfo bowl (not sure where it is at the moment) but here is a similar one.

Thank you! Much appreciated.

 

@Max2000, I've taken the liberty of reposting your photographs as Full Image rather than Thumbnail so they're easier for everyone to see. You'll want to remember to do that in the future. (And not to worry. All new members do the same thing in their first posts.)

Beautiful tableau, Max.

Btw, it says De Porcelyne Fles, voorh. Joost Thooft Labouchere. Voorh. is short for 'voorheen', which means formerly. Sometimes you will see v/h, which is also short for voorheen.
So you tile tableau was made by De Porcelyne Fles.
Joost Thooft died in 1890, A. Labouchere in 1940, before your tableau was made.

 

That is gorgeous, and you don't often see a depiction of the unusual costume of Axel.
Axel is a small town in Zeeuws Vlaanderen, Zeeland. When I went there in the 70s there were only five women who still wore traditional dress daily.
They didn't wear the usual Zeeland huge caps, but they wore expensive silk and Tibetan wool. The beaded decorations on the front and back of the bodice were handmade by the ladies themselves. And of course they wore gold and thick rows of coral beads.

This photo was taken in 1920, but by 1970 the 'wings' were even higher:
