I have not seen one of these before - an enameled copper tile. it's kind of thick [for copper] and 3 inches square. It has a section where the enamel is very thin or chipped - i cant tell. the lines in the enamel are not visible when holding it in my hands - just in the photo.
although i'm putting it in ceramic tiles, it's not ceramic, but that was the closest category i could find.
Enamel on copper was a popular crafts medium in the 1950s. There are a few big names like Jade Snow Wong, and others I've forgotten, that successfully exploited the medium but I think a lot of the examples may have been done in crafts classes and maybe even home garages. I also think this is an unfortunately overlooked field of collectables.
