Painted Ceramic Tile
This is the base painted tile most buyers start with. Each piece is decorated by hand, so no two are exactly alike, and the vibrant colour is held inside a glaze fired above one thousand degrees rather than printed on the face.
Sizes run from three inches up to thirty inches, which means single tiles can be pieced together into a larger mosaic layout without changing supplier or glaze batch.
