What is the time period in which Delft tiles were made?

Delft tiles were made during the period of the 17th to the 18th century. These tiles were primarily manufactured in the Dutch city of Delft, hence the name. The production of Delft tiles started in the early 17th century and continued to be created until the end of the 18th century. Delft tiles became popular during the Dutch Golden Age, particularly between the years 1650 and 1750. They were heavily inspired by Chinese porcelain and were often used as a less expensive alternative to the intricate and expensive Chinese tiles. During this time, Delft became a significant center for tile production, with numerous factories producing these distinctive blue and white tiles. However, towards the end of the 18th century, the demand for Delft tiles diminished, leading to the decline in their production.
