Catalogue information
This tableau was made in cloisonné technique, applied at De Porceleyne Fles from 1907. This means that the lines of the drawing form a raised relief, the different glazes have run out within the lines. What is special is that this technique was combined with irregularly shaped tiles, such as in the section technique, a specialty of De Porceleyne Fles. In the performance we see a tea-drinking company along the waterfront, including a tow barge. At the time, the whole gave an old-fashioned atmosphere, which rather recalls the time around 1830, of Hildebrand's 'Camera Obscura'. Tableau, entitled 'the tea garden', made of ceramic tiles by De Porceleyne Fles in Delft after a design by Leon Senf, c. 1910-1920 Source: [08141], Tile Collection, Dutch Tile Museum
