Description From Renaissance Brno come at least 27 fragments, torsos and complete specimens of stove tiles with relief decoration, in which are applied in contemporary architecture stylized Mediterranean dolphins. Stoves with these motives come from several localities in the urban areas. All localised discoveries can be hypothetically connected with members of the higher social classes, nobles and propertied or nobilitated burgesses, who could be the stove builders with these motives.
