Glazed terracotta is created by re-firing dyed terracotta in a furnace. These blocks have special patterns that, when placed correctly, can form decorative ornaments. All types of glazed terracotta are suitable for both decoration and functional building. Thanks to these patterns, they can be used to highlight areas on floors or walls or mark locations.
