Ivy Hill Tile Patras Indigo 7.87 in. x 7.87 in. Matte Porcelain Floor and Wall Tile (10.76 Sq. ft./Case)

The Alesso Indigo Blue 8x8 Matte Porcelain Tile combines artisanal technique with sophisticated simplicity. This tile's cool blue hue with shade variation is characteristic of Nazari-period ceramics from medieval Andalusia, Spain. Mix and match this tile with others from the Alesso collection to give your installation a custom look. The iconic courtyards of Alhambra served as the inspiration for the Alesso collection. These 8-by-8-inch Moorish-style tiles are offered in four decorative designs and three solid, complementary colorways. They combine the practicality of porcelain with the artistry of an encaustic look. Alesso infuses any space-kitchens, foyers, patios, and more-with a classic look. To make encaustic tile, a carved stamp is pressed into wet clay; pigment is added, giving it the appearance of a handmade inlaid pattern. By printing patterns on porcelain, the same vibrancy can be achieved-and you get the benefits of a durable material (porcelain resists scratches, water, and fading) that's easy to maintain. Plus, it's more affordable.
