These are some old tiles, but you get the idea.  These start out about 4 inches, then due to shrinkage end up a bit over 3 1/4.  I do these with a smooth back and then glue a piece of cork sheet on the back for coasters.  Some of them are glazed, others have just iron oxide and still others have a coat of terra sigillata.

The NEW ones are bigger and will hopefully be close to standard wall tile size (commercial tiles are 4 1/4 inches across) so people can use them as accent tiles.  There are several designs I'm playing with; my regular tiles with plants rolled in but full sized, some carved ones which I started doing as a special order that are doing well in the gallery and at the small local show I did a week or two ago, as well as some brandy new coiled tiles.  The coiled tiles are exciting, but I seriously need some new coaster tiles to put up on Etsy, so I might have to just see how the ones (ok, there are two so far!) I have drying turn out while I stop and do imprinted ones.  Such is
