Tonight we trekked all the way to NJ to:

with aisle upon aisle of fun tile:

But we were only interested in one type of tile…

Ceramic Crackle tile:

Basically we’re seeking more crackle tile in various sizes and profiles at a lower price point per square foot than the previously purchased Subway Ceramics (SC) 2×6 tile. L to R: Tonight new, January new (SC), 100 + yr old:

Turns out this newer tile, Bianca imperial, is about 2/3rds the thickness of the SC tile and the vintage tile, hence the lower price. But the good news is, the color is almost indistinguishable from the SC tile in person!
