Body Development

A ceramic tile is atile made op clay. During the early days, tiles were made by hand. clay brickes - made by flattening  the clay and cutting pieces into shape were dried beneath the sun or baked.
later, the only mechanical aid available was a wooden mold carved in relief, which indented a pattern on the clay slab. the slab was dried and the impression files with  clay, which after further drying was shaved flat.
Historically, unglazed tiles were fired once and glazed tiles were fired twice. the first firing formed a tile body called biscuit. the biscuit firing had the highest temperature at 1160 degree Celsius that fixed the tiles for size and shape.
