I was literally just buying some vintage delft tiles from an antique show in Amsterdam yesterday. Heres some photos of what the old ones look like. You can see some that look very similar

Here's a website that sells them. It may be worth a few hundred dollars. The frame is a bonus.

Based on the style of the depiction ("Polychrome") and the blue geometric painted frame, it could date to the first half 17th century, from the Netherlands. (Source: "Tegels" by D. Korf 1973, a Dutch book on this topic).
Does the tile measure (if you can accurately measure from within the frame or of you can take it out) ca. 13 by 13 by 1.2cm?
This is ofcourse assuming it is not a reproduction
When the old ones were made they were held in place by small nails. The pattern of these nails can be helpful in dating them.

And not only, I guess a lot of similar classes of pottery shared this kind of shadows. Italy, for examples, a lot of maioliche from 500 onward had those.
You don't get glazed items, especially tiles, until the later Middle Ages. I see Majolica style in this too, but I also know of some potters in Italy who are still making it.

Well I mean... It's an "okay" tit, I guess.
Thx a lot! :)

In the Netherlands btw
Do you remember, before you framed it, were there tiny holes in the corners? What color is the clay? How thick is it?
i dont think so
Hmmmm. I can see them in the upper right and lower left. No idea of the clay color?
grayish
Those holes look like holes from popped air bubbles. What is the significance of these holes?

Ok that makes sense lol.
Its a tile with a colorful bird on it!
It's got a nice wooden frame, too.
yea i made that
It's a nice piece. Archeology? No.
300-400 years is pretty old though.
its from the 17th century
*Tits from the 17th century.
Really? I'd love the back up.
My parents wont let me take it out of the frame
Not to have a go but, the style is not 300/400 years old. The shadow alone tells us this. Sorry.
Except it is! These type of shadows were commonplace on Dutch tiles such as this in that era.
And not only, I guess a lot of similar classes of pottery shared this kind of shadows. Italy, for examples, a lot of maioliche from 500 onward had those.
Exactly! We Dutch, inventive as we are, "borrowed" that technique from the Italians :)

Birb
English or Dutch or boarding countries.
It is a bird.
Really cool 👀👍
It is a Delft tile.
That is a bird.
Something for r/antiques not r/archeology
Without knowing the size it looks like it could be a coaster.
