Hi all, Im having problems identifing this tile. its a 4.25x4.25x.5" tile and at first glance it looks like a quarry tile. but once you inspect it closer it is alot darker and is very smooth. it almost looks like a through body porcelain tile. on the back of the tile is stamped made in England and it also says "FERROLITE". I am trying to match this up for my customer and they have no idea how old this tile is it could be 5-50 years old. If anyone could shed some light on this I would appreciate it.

Thanks, James
