<p>[QUOTE=&quot;15Stiftgasse, post: 3877372, member: 12382&quot;]I&#039;ve finally managed to contact a collector of Dutch delft tiles who informs me that, in his opinion : The religious tile apparently depicts Elijah being fed by ravens (1st Book of Kings - 17.6), and although similar to dutch tiles, is from elsewhere , possibly France. The second tile, featuring a slightly grotesque caricature, is probably not dutch, and again, possibly also from France. </p><p>This is unfortunate, as there appears to be a distinct lack of information on the web regarding French antique tiles, compared to those from Holland. And my apologies for doubting those who suggested a french origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>To be honest, all this faffing around on the internet is beginning to take it&#039;s toll on my patience.</p><p>I&#039;m currently thinking about keeping the purple religious tile, which I quite like - and disposing of the other tile, which somehow reminds me of my mother-in-law, who I don&#039;t like.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, thank you you ALL very much for your contributions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
