Dutch Earthenware Wall Tile attributed to Pieter Groeneveldt, Mid 20th Century

About This Piece

Vintage Design

A Dutch earthenware wall tile by Pieter Groeneveldt, Voorschoten 1950-1960 Two series of tiles were produced in 1957 on the occasion of the anniversary of the Blijdorp zoo and the farewell of the then director. The original design of the tiles is by Anca Meyknecht. The tiles continued to be produced in series long after 1957. This large tile with two stylized horses depicted on a travertine background, the animals are glazed. Pieter Groeneveldt was born in 1889 (1889-1982) in Batavia, in what was then the Dutch East Indies. In Amsterdam he trained as a portrait painter at the Rijksakademie. At the end of the 1950s, Pieter Groeneveldt can probably proudly call himself the inventor of the 'travertine' ('bark') effect, an important style characteristic of Groeneveldt post-war production. The measurement is 27,5 cm high, 20 cm wide and the depth is 1,5 cm.
