How his tile looks
Real tiles we've made for other enthusiasts — for inspiration. Works on a photo of the vehicle alone, or with the owner standing proudly beside it.

For example: "Scania R500", "Grandpa's Zundapp", or a plate. Our AI paints that text into a decorative cartouche.

Classic Delft Blue or full colour. 15×15 cm or 20×20 cm XL. See your preview live in the editor.

The Delft tile — 400 years of working life
In the peak of Delft ceramics (1640-1740), the tile painters didn't just paint flowers and birds — they painted working life too: ships at full sail, windmills, carriages, and horse-and-cart. The transport of their day, immortalised in cobalt. Many of those tiles still hang today in the Rijksmuseum and in old Dutch homes.
Our vehicle tiles carry that tradition forward: your photo of the car, bike, or truck is translated by our AI into the same cobalt brushstrokes — line by line, wheel by wheel — then printed on real ceramic. The carriage of then is the Scania, the Harley, or the classic of now. The same Dutch warmth, the same longevity: a vehicle that will still look back, fifty years from now.
Two sizes — both real ceramic
For the vehicle alone, 15×15 cm works beautifully. For a vehicle with its owner, or lots of detail (chrome, wheels, a cab full of dials), we recommend 20×20 cm XL.
For which moments?
Retirement — farewell to the truck or tractor.
After 30 years on the road, he hands in the keys. A portrait of his exact truck or tractor, with his years and miles — not a farewell card, but something that goes on the wall. And stays.
The restored classic.
Months in the shed, built up screw by screw. Immortalise the classic in Delft Blue — the showpiece he polishes every Sunday, now on the wall too.
The motorbike and the open road.
For the rider who lives for the season. His bike in cobalt, with the model and the route he loves most. Freedom, on real ceramic.
In memoriam — the first car or dad's car.
The car that was sold but never forgotten, or the vehicle of a father no longer here. A loving tribute — "1968 — 2014" in a dignified cartouche.
The gift for the man who "needs nothing".
Not a gadget, not socks, not yet another tool he already owns. Something personal that shows you know where his heart is — with that vehicle.
The most personal gift for the man who loves his vehicle
A vehicle tile in Delft Blue is a personal tribute that lands deeper than another keyring or detailing kit. We paint his car, motorbike, truck, or tractor into the tile in cobalt brushstrokes — line by line, wheel by wheel — in the same style as the 17th-century Delft tiles now hanging in the Rijksmuseum. No sticker, no print: real handmade ceramic.
Whether you're looking for a gift for a retiring truck driver, a motorbike lover, a proud classic-car owner, a farmer with his tractor, or the man who never forgot his first car — a Delft Blue vehicle tile fits every moment. Works on cars, motorbikes, trucks, vans, tractors, diggers, campers, boats, and even bicycles.
Our tiles are designed in the Netherlands and fired at 1080°C on real ceramic, just like the original Delft tiles. Order before 17:00 and your tile ships the same business day, with fast delivery across the Netherlands, Belgium, and the rest of Europe. Free to design — you only pay when the preview is perfect. A personal gift that lasts a lifetime.
What customers say
5 out of 5 starsEcht een oer-Hollands cadeau
Een Delfts blauw tegeltje met een foto van het huis waar mijn ouders 50 jaar hebben gewoond, gegeven bij hun gouden bruiloft. De combinatie van de typisch Nederlandse stijl met hun persoonlijke verhaal maakte het cadeau heel speciaal. Iedereen wilde het zien.
5 out of 5 starsSouvenir voor Australische vriend
Mijn beste vriend is naar Australië verhuisd. Een Delfts blauw tegeltje met onze gezamenlijke foto opgestuurd als verrassing. Hij belde meteen op om te zeggen hoe geraakt hij was. Precies dat stukje Holland in zijn nieuwe huis.
5 out of 5 starsWerkt op alle foto's super
Heb 3 verschillende foto's geprobeerd: portret, landschap en groepsfoto. Bij alle drie kwam het Delfts blauw effect prachtig uit. Het keramiek voelt premium aan en de tegelhouder erbij maakt het af. Aanrader!
4 out of 5 starsMooi tegeltje, donkerblauw was wel echt donker
Op zich een mooi resultaat, alleen werd mijn foto wel echt donker omdat de Delfts blauw stijl met diepe blauwtinten werkt. Een lichtere foto met meer contrast werkt waarschijnlijk beter. Volgende keer beter geprobeerd.
Frequently asked questions about the vehicle tile
A sharp side or three-quarter shot with the whole vehicle in frame and as little background clutter as possible. Daylight or a tidy workshop works best; avoid harsh reflections on the paint. A clean car, gleaming bike, or freshly washed truck comes out best. We accept JPG, PNG, and HEIC up to 25 MB — when in doubt, upload several.
Yes. Our AI redraws almost any vehicle in cobalt brushstrokes: family car and classic, motorbike and scooter, truck and van, tractor and farm machine, excavator, crane, camper, boat, or even a beloved bicycle. The more recognisable the vehicle is in the photo, the stronger the result.
Absolutely. Upload a photo of him beside or inside his vehicle — leaning on the bonnet, in the cab, or standing proudly next to the tractor. Our AI translates man and machine together into Delft Blue. For a vehicle with a person we recommend 20×20 cm XL: more room for detail, so both the face and the vehicle stay recognisable.
Yes. Alongside the name or model (line 1) you can type up to 3 extra lines — for example the build year or plate ("2018 · BX-JR-42"), a mileage ("500,000 km together"), or a short message ("25 years on the road"). We paint that text into a decorative cartouche. Keep it short — max ~40 characters per line reads best.
That is exactly what it is for. For the driver handing back his truck after 30 years, the farmer saying goodbye to his tractor, the man who never forgot his first car or motorbike, or the hobbyist with his restored classic in the shed. A vehicle in Delft Blue is not a gadget that disappears into a drawer — it goes on the wall, and stays.
Up to 4 lines in a decorative cartouche: a name or model (e.g. "Scania R500" or "Grandpa's Zundapp"), a build year or plate, a mileage or milestone, and optionally a short message ("Forever on the road"). Keep it short — max ~40 characters per line reads best.
