This tile is absolutely beautiful and I'm going to be using it for a center piece above my stove.  I can see that it would also be nice on a floor or as an accent in the floor or shower niche.  It has an antique look - it looks like it was in some home in Italy.  The blue is shades of mid blue and the star is a faded white - not a bright white.  It will look stunning in the space, as we've already held it up to see how it will look.
