XXX bleek zeer goed in staat om de kleuren op de door mij gebakken staaltegel te vertalen naar de zwak-pastelkleurige majolicaverf waarmee hij moest schilderen.
Surely not a 'language tile' - Google in any language is not helping me here!

paulve
: the text is referring to baking colors on a tile, so it's not a steel tile, as that can't be baked. It's ceramic! In this case, 'staal' means 'sample', as in 'sample color tile' or 'color tile sample'.

For all of you who believe that steel tiles don't exist:
http://www.susanjablonmosaics.com/glass-tile/stainless-steel...
Stainless Steel Tiles are excellent for floors, walls, ceilings and backsplashes. You can also review and shop for Stainless Steel Tile on our Tile Catalog's Stainless Steel Tile page.
"Stainless Steel bars wrapped on porcelain" (hence baked...)
There's more on Google, but I decided to hold back this time...
