Abstract[Bearbeiten]
Tin-glazed tiles for architectural purposes were produced in the Netherlands from the end of the 16th century. These tiles were extensively used in buildings in the Netherlands, but they are also found as far away as Brazil. Today tiles are considered important cultural heritage with a clear historical value, but often also an aesthetic or even an artistic value. They may be valued as individual tiles, but it is important to also consider their value within an ensemble. Tin-glazed tiles that are still in situ can be badly affected by crystallizing salts. Unfortunately, it is the most defining part of the tile, the glaze-layer, that is most vulnerable. The conservation of tin-glazed tiles affected by soluble salts often requires invasive treatments including removing the tiles fr om their location and desalinating them in water. Such treatment is not without risk for the tiles. In other situations, tiles might have to be replaced with replicas or similar contemporary tiles. In order to be able to justify any such treatment it is important for the conservator to acquire a better understanding of the causes of the salt crystallization. This requires research, performed by a researcher specialized in this field, and which should include investigations into the moisture sources and the amount and type of salt ions that are present. This information is often necessary in order to determine a conservation strategy that best preserves the value of the tile with as minimal intervention as required. For the preservation of tin-glazed tiles it is important that the value of research is better understood by both conservators and other stakeholders.
