Such a cermic tile would not be suitable for certain applications. For example if you intend to use the tile for a backsplash counter top or tabletop you will need a very durable tile that will hold up to frequent cleaning and in the case of a countertop or tabletop some hard use too. Stoneware clays are the most suitable for this sort of use. Stoneware is normally fired to about cone 6 (around 2200 degrees F) and is very strong. But in your inquiry dont stop with what kind of clay the tiles are made from. Glazes vary enormously and even so-called food-safe glazes can leach out chemicals stain and lose their color.
Cost-effectiveness durability and versatility are their other advantages. Usually ceramic tiles can be installed on all types of countertops like those made of plywood cement and lightweight aggregates. But the main thing is the application of the right backing under the tiles. The selection of sink type is also important. Usually sinks selected for ceramic tile countertops are tile in and self rimming types. The tile in type sink is generally set below the tile surface and the other type is set on the top of the tile. Typically the size of ceramic tile countertop ranges from one square inch to six square inches.

Even a glaze said to be food-safe often is not. John Hesselberth and Ron Roy in their book Mastering Cone 6 Glazes demonstrate this by placing a lemon wedge on a food-safe glazed piece of ceramics. Within hours the glaze is discolored from leaching out of the chemicals. Unfortunately the food-safeness of a glazed or handpainted ceramic tile is difficult to determine unless you can speak with the maker because of the fact that many glazes said to be food-safe are not. Which is one of the great advantages of handmade tiles - the ceramic artist can tell you if it is food-safe.
