I chose this tile above hundreds of other choices because the photos and description suggested an “old world” appearance, texture, and fine variations of color within the tile.  It’s always a huge risk to purchase anything without actually seeing the item, but I was THRILLED with these tiles.  They are far better than the photos and the uneven texture, mottled colors within the background creamy color, and the blue center emblem speaks of an antique, country style.
I would highly recommend these tiles.  They have not yet been installed in our kitchen, but I’ve attached a few 
photos of possible layouts.
