TERRACOTTA & GLAZED BRİCK

There are a plethora of ways to think of terracotta & glazed brick. Let’s start with the nomenclature. Is it terracotta in one word or terra cotta used as two words? Is this really Mexican tile that looks like adobe? Are we thinking of Italian red material? Well, both spellings are recognized as correct and as to origins, terracotta tiles can be Mexican, Italian, French, Catalan, Californian etc., etc. Loosely, we can translate the term as “baked earth” or “cooked earth”.

CERAMIC TILES

Ceramic tile may be described or defined in many different ways. However, in general, consider a piece of red or white clay that has been formed by hand or by machine into a shape. That shape is most often flat but can take many configurations depending on the intended usage. This shape is then glazed with a ceramic glaze and fired at extremely high temperatures in a kiln which is essentially an oven.
