What do you call this tile?

We are looking for rustic looking ceramic tile. Handmade, with
rounded edges, like a piece of chicklets gum.


Is there a special name for it?

Clay or terra cotta tile is called saltillo.

Tile

Saltillo is what we call it in Mo. Usually a special order but worth the wait, Bill
