KLEURTJES :
"Kleurtjes" are cheerful little traditional tiles in size 13 x 13 cm like the very famous Dutch " Delft " tiles which have decorated so many kitchens since the 16 th century, and not only in castles. Delft tiles are almost always white or rather whitish, which is what earned them their Dutch nickname of "witjes", literally "little white ones". That is why we called our tiles "kleurtjes", which means "little coloured ones", to show the connection. Apart from the size and the traditional appearance of the surface and the shape, and even if they use very modern sparkling enamels, I find that they have a deep-rooted familiarity with their glorious ancestors through their likeable simplicity, a sort of attractive and jovial roundness that fits in well with all things Belgian.
