Ancient Stone Finish
We have developed a flecked brown and cream texture treatment for our interior-exterior architectural ceramic products. Aptly named "Ancient Stone Finish," it has the natural appeal of old stonework, and is compatible with many varieties of stone, such as travertine, limestone and tumbled marble. We use the finish as the foundation of our Ancient Stone Fresco Collection.

A delightful benefit of Nocera's Architectural, Ancient Stone and Metallic glaze palettes is that when used together on the same tile, glaze colors from one palette are usually compatible with those from others. Our pictured samples show several splendid combinations. See your creative power expand as you try your own blends.
