Welcome to my
website, which I hope you will share my interest in cloisonné tiles!
My name is Martin van Leeuwen, born and bred in the beautiful,
historical town of Delft. For a number of years
now, I have been collecting cloisonné tiles, made by the
local “PORCELEYNE FLES” factory during the period from about 1907 till 1977.
Up to now it is still possible to find a fair number of the
produced tiles. At flea markets, people’s homes and recently via
different
Internet sites. It is
becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to find the more
rare, exquisite specimens.

- EXHIBITION
PORCELEYNE FLES
Last two years in the building of the
Porceleyne Fles they have found several items behind old walls.After
the development they have worked very hard to create a new
exhibition part for showing items like cloissonné. Tiles, tile
tablets large and small, icing syringe, design drawings,
wallpictures etc. Ican tell you it's very nice to see the new
developed items.
Behind November the 20e also my books will be showed and are
available for sale there! Below I give you an impression of some
items you can see there!.
Nice or not?
- NEVER THOUGHT...
A short time ago I developed at the internet two unknown tiles
with a white rose. I knew already two of those tiles but had never
thought that there were two more of this - very rare - tiles.
Below I show them!
