Handmade products feature natural variations in color and texture, adding to their unique beauty. Subtle differences in hue, saturation, finish, dimension, including the occasional kiln-fired speck or surface marking, are part of the character of our tile. While samples can’t show the full range of variation, we recommend using them to assist in your tile selection.
