Rectangular tiles with beveled edges became popular around year 1900. This type of tiles are often called Metro tiles, because it was put up in the subway in Paris - Le Metro. The term half-tile comes from the fact that 7.5 x 15 cm is half of 15 x 15cm (5.91 x 5.91 in.) which was a very common size of tiles. In the early 1900s half-tiles were mostly used in the fancier parts of the homes, for example in washrooms and kitchen areas where even the apartment/house owners were staying.
The tiles suit perfect above the sink or on the bathroom walls and should be mounted like bricks, i.e. with a semi-flattened displacement over respectively below a set tile. This tile is made of white clay, and each plate has been manufactured separately, which means that the plates have smooth edges.
