Ceramic flooring tile

- Gres de Nules, S.A.
Description

The FIGURE is a front elevational view of a ceramic flooring tile showing my new design, the rear and side being plain and unornamented. The tile is of a conventional thickness.

It is a characteristizing feature of the present invention that horizontal and vertical lines defining an unpatterned area divide a random pattern into major receptacles, that further horizontal and vertical, unpatterned lines define a minor rectangle within each major rectangle, that adjacent major rectangles are oppositely shaded by means of speckling, and that each minor rectangle is shaded by means of speckling so as to be shaded oppositely to the major rectangle within which it is located.
