One of Italy's oldest tile manufacturers introduces to the United States a line of mosaic small format tile that combine the strength and durability required by architectural standards with the beauty and design appeal of its luxurious glass counterparts. Produced by Appiani, the Anthologhia collection is notable for its 35 subtly mottled floral shades and hard, smooth semi-sheen glaze, plus metal ceramic finishes in platinum, gold and copper.
A manufacturing process called monopressocottura yields a consistent, frost-resistant product suitable for both floor and wall, indoor and outdoor and residential and commercial applications. Modular sizes include 1/2 x 1/2-inch, 1x1-inch, 2x2-inch, and 1x2-inch mosaics as well as 4x4-inch individual field tile.
