Summing up an EMBLEMATIC tile

- CONDITION: This tile is in perfect condition, no flaws or repairs exist. Cement on reverse was carefully removed so minimal traces are remaining. Surface, as you can see, has a firm color and smooth glaze surface. Only minimal scratches and tiny chips may be seen, but this is nothing for a more than 100 year old architectural piece.

- SHIPPING: Shipping charges are calculated for 3 different shipping methods, the Uruguay registered packet standard (a bit slow) and accelerated (we recommend this very much) and finally courier Express mail FEDEX that is very fast. For orders of more than 10 tiles FEDEX is much more convenient and very reasonable in price.
