Brownstone Smooth Summit Gloss
Brownstone Smooth Summit Gloss shines with the crisp brightness of freshly fallen snow — a cool, luminous white that channels the spirit of Mt. Hood. This is a gloss glaze, which means it has a smooth, reflective surface that enhances texture and brings out rich variation in tone and depth.
Our handmade tile will vary in color, surface, and size.
This glaze has a variation level of V2, meaning you can expect gentle shifts from light to dark between pieces.

The beauty of handmade tile is that no two pieces are exactly alike — and that variation is what gives it depth and character. Subtle changes in color, shade, surface, and size should be expected (and celebrated!) since they make every installation one-of-a-kind.
To help you understand what kind of variation to expect, we use a simple scale from V1 to V4:
- V1: Minimal Variation – Slight, subtle differences between pieces.
- V2: Some Variation – A bit more range from light to dark, adding richness and dimension.
- V3: Moderate Variation – Noticeable shifts in both color and contrast, even within a single order — making it especially important to avoid add-on orders.
- V4: Substantial Variation – Exciting and full of character! These glazes are designed to have significant and sometimes dramatic differences — even within a single tile. Layout and planning are essential, and we recommend ordering samples in advance.
Variation levels represent the maximum expected range — actual orders may appear more consistent. Always reference current samples, and talk to your salesperson if you’re going for a specific look.
