A blue and white so-called Rotterdam open-air, crown, tile with the decoration of a stork.
The stork is very large and painted on a blue ground, between plants. Above the bird, we see a cloud, that we call the ‘crown’ of the tile. With a dark blue sky on both sides. These tiles were probably used as a plinth. Without corner decorations.

The tile is in good condition, but has professional restorations to all four edges.
