Polychrome earthenware "tulip and heart" tile
Description
The second tile from the White Swan collection (079b) also features a multicolored design, but with a more abstract representation of a tulip. A blue heart is depicted below the center. Such a tile is therefore called a "tulip and heart tile." Here too, French lilies are placed in the corners.
