Round Tile

Penny rounds are so called because the traditional tile is the same diameter as a penny. Mercury Mosaics hand-crafted penny rounds are closer in size to a half dollar making them fifty times as valuable as the traditional penny round. Unfortunately, “Half-dollar rounds” doesn’t have the same ring (or the storied history) so keeping the classic name was a no-brainer. No matter the name, these handmade ceramic Penny tiles are fun and playful.

Penny tile has been used on bathroom floors for years, but never achieved the commonplace usage that the hexagon tile did. This happy accident makes them familiar, yet interesting. Their round shape is also evocative of water, making them a logical choice for the bathroom.

Like most small floor tiles, penny round floor tiles have formerly come in white and black. What makes Mercury Mosaics handmade Penny Rounds really desirable is the ability to make them pop with bright colors. Nearly all of our signature colors are available on these joy-bringing rounds. A gorgeous green or a soothing blue are perfect colors for a powder room floor or a full master bath, and we can make them both.
