The tiles are 5.1" by 5.1", or 13 by 13 cm, containing usual fritting and chipping at the edges.

With a combination of speckled manganese and blue, featuring an octagonal center decorated with a fleur-de-lis corner motif, they are remarkably similar to those of the Schwetzingen Palace and Gardens Porcelain House, which may not be coincidental.  (See photos.)  The tiles of the Porcelain House were acquired in August of 1723 from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, in a total of 30,000 tiles, and were originally installed in the Old Orangery.  In 1727, the court ordered another 5,000 tiles for the ballroom in the orangery.
