Introducing the Geboorte Tegel:
A Timeless and Personalized Way to Celebrate Your Baby's Arrival
In the Netherlands, it is a tradition to commemorate the birth of a new baby by creating a birth tile called “geboorte tegel” in Dutch. These tiles are usually made of ceramic or porcelain and feature important details about the newborn such as their name, date of birth, time of birth, length, and weight. They also include a picture or a design with a cot and a baby or something that reflects the family’s heritage or interests.
Once the birth tile is created, it is typically hung on the wall of the newborn’s room. It is considered a special and meaningful way to celebrate the arrival of a new member of the family.
New Beginnings: The Miracle of Birth
Queen Beatrix, who was born in 1938, also had a birth tile created in her honour. It is a beautiful example of the tradition, featuring her name and birthdate.
The tile serves as a reminder of her place in Dutch history and the traditions that have been passed down through generations.
She continued this tradition with her three sons.
From Past to Present: The Continued Tradition of Birth Tiles
Laura’s Mission: Bringing the Dutch Geboorte Tegel Tradition to the UK.
Laura is on a mission to introduce this Dutch tradition of the birth tile to the UK in a unique and exciting way. Her twist on this tradition is that the tile is made of approximately 2.5 cm thick wood, which gives it a sturdy and durable feel.
What sets this tile apart is that all details including the image are hand-burned and carefully coloured with watercolour to create a truly personalised and one-of-a-kind piece.
The geboorte tegel is a cherished tradition in the Netherlands, and Laura believes that it has the potential to become just as beloved in the UK. She is excited to offer a modern take on this age-old tradition and provide families with a beautiful and lasting reminder of their child’s birth.
Laura is passionate about creating a high-quality product that is not only beautiful but also sustainable. All the wood used in the birth tiles is sourced from responsibly managed forests, and the watercolour paints are non-toxic and eco-friendly. With Laura’s attention to detail and commitment to sustainability, the birth tile will become a cherished family heirloom that can be passed down for generations to come.
