Missed the comment about the shiny spashes of clear substance on all the tiles. Looks like someone spilled a bucket of clear chemical next to the tiles. I understand the weathered, distressed look and the splotches of white in the glaze but the clear spash pattern looks like a defect. The reply to the poster of her similar observation said it was intentional. Would not have purchased if it was clearly stated and pictured. Will live with it cause the design is attractive.
