Concerning the Delft Tiles - has the owner consulted with a decorative arts cur
ator at a local or nearby museum. They would have the resources (and knowledge
) to research them.

Hi,
I might be able to help. We have a good library here on Delft tiles and if
the owner has photographs I may be able to help identify them. I have done
some work on Delft so I can give him /her some background material.
Thanks
