A method for manufacturing a ceramic tile that comprises the steps of: - providing a green tile having at least a green body with an upper surface; - providing at least a first surface covering on said upper surface of the green body, said first surface covering comprising a glassy substance and being provided in the form of a suspension in water; - providing a décor on said first surface covering; and - firing said green tile to obtain a ceramic tile having a surface structure on its upper surface, characterized in that it comprises a step of applying at least one physical sinking agent and one chemical sinking agent said sinking agents (16,17) determining said surface structure; in that said physical sinking agent is able to physically interact with the water of the first surface covering in order to create the surface structure, said physical sinking agent comprising an hydrophobic substance; in that chemical sinking agent is able to chemically interact with the glassy substance of the first surface covering in order to create the surface structure, on the upper surface of the green tile, said chemical sinking agent comprising metal oxides; in that wherein the physical and chemical sinking agents (16,17) are applied by means of inkjet printing each according to a respective pattern, in that said step of applying said physical and chemical sinking agents (16,17) is performed before said step of providing the first surface covering, in that the physical and chemical sinking agent (16,17) are applied directly onto the upper surface of the green body; and in that said respective patterns of the physical and chemical sinking agent (16, 17) being at least partially coinciding. - providing a green tile having at least a green body with an upper surface; - providing at least a first surface covering on said upper surface of the green body, said first surface covering comprising a glassy substance and being provided in the form of a suspension in water; - providing a décor on said first surface covering; and - firing said green tile to obtain a ceramic tile having a surface structure on its upper surface, characterized in that it comprises a step of applying at least one physical sinking agent and one chemical sinking agent said sinking agents (16,17) determining said surface structure; in that said physical sinking agent is able to physically interact with the water of the first surface covering in order to create the surface structure, said physical sinking agent comprising an hydrophobic substance; in that chemical sinking agent is able to chemically interact with the glassy substance of the first surface covering in order to create the surface structure, on the upper surface of the green tile, said chemical sinking agent comprising metal oxides; in that wherein the physical and chemical sinking agents (16,17) are applied by means of inkjet printing each according to a respective pattern, in that said step of applying said physical and chemical sinking agents (16,17) is performed before said step of providing the first surface covering, in that the physical and chemical sinking agent (16,17) are applied directly onto the upper surface of the green body; and in that said respective patterns of the physical and chemical sinking agent (16, 17) being at least partially coinciding.
