A Dutch tradition four centuries old, made personal for you today — on the one tile that stands upright. The Rectangular Delft Blue Photo Tile captures your photo in hand-painted Delft Blue style, with an oval medallion, an ornate floral border and cobalt on porcelain white, and fires the result onto an upright ceramic tile of 14.8 by 19.8 centimetres.

What makes this style special?

Our AI's Delft Blue style rebuilds your portrait as a traditional Delft tile painting. Facial structure, expression and recognisable features stay true to the original, but drawn with the soft brushstrokes and deep cobalt blue of the old masters of Delft. An oval medallion centres the portrait; graceful flowers, leaves and corner ornaments frame it — and which of those ornamented layouts it becomes is your choice.

With several people in the photo, everyone stays in view. Our AI adjusts the composition so that all the main figures fit neatly inside the medallion; nobody is cropped away.

Why this format?

Almost everything we make in ceramic is square. This is not. An upright surface is made for a person: a face does not have to be cropped in tight, a full-length shot fits whole, and a facade stands up straight instead of being squeezed into a square. Here the medallion gets what it never gets on a square: room above and below, so the flowers and ornaments have a top and a bottom instead of four cramped corners.

Who is it for?

The gift for anyone who loves Dutch tradition — and for anyone looking for something personal that stands out from the standard presents. Wonderful for a birthday, anniversary, retirement or housewarming, as a personalised souvenir for an international guest, and as a family portrait to hand down.

How do I display it?

Hang it with a hanging hook we fit to the back. Prefer it standing on a shelf, mantel or desk? Choose the wooden tile stand or the black tile stand — both hold the tile upright. Note that every stand covers a narrow strip of the bottom edge.
