This mother of pearl brick tile is a slim brick washed in a mother-of-pearl glaze, where quiet greys lift into pearlescent shimmer, giving walls a soft, luminous movement that changes with every shift of light.

A thin-format glazed ceramic wall tile in 5 x 21 cm, finished with an iridescent, pearlescent glaze that creates subtle colour play across the surface. The base reads as a calm mid-to-deep grey, but the glaze introduces gentle flashes of silvered sheen and tonal bloom, so the wall never feels flat or purely matte.

The elongated proportion lends itself to architectural layouts: stack bond for a clean, contemporary grid, running bond for a more familiar cadence, or vertical setting to accentuate height. Because the glaze has natural variation, it performs best when the tiles are blended during installation to distribute tonal shifts evenly.

Ideal for interior wall applications including bathrooms, splashbacks, niches and feature walls, especially where grazing light can bring out the iridescence. Grout choice will define the final character: charcoal or mid-grey will keep joints quiet and let the glaze glow, while a lighter grout will sharpen the brick pattern and make the grid more graphic.
