The open windows of this shop beckon passersby. There’s plenty to please traditionalists. Porcelain floor tiles in square, brick and rhomboid shapes are on display, as are hand-moulded ceramic tiles. Natural stone options include the usual selection of granite, limestone, marble and onyx. Porcelain tiles from Spain replicate metals—such as copper and steel—with a rusty finish ($9 per square foot). For modern looks, glass tiles for kitchens and bathrooms are very popular: square glass mosaics by Italian manufacturer Bisazza come in more than 100 colours (from $25 per square foot). Whimsical hand-painted ceramics from Brazil have lots of character, with stylized animals and village scenes ($25 per piece).
