What is the base of the tile constructed with and how does it look on the bottom?
How do you know if it is frost resistant, and if so, to what temperature?
 
Terracotta is is a clay-based unglazed ceramic.
"Terracotta uses a far simpler process for creating the finished work with much lower material costs. Compared to marble sculpture and other stonework the finished product is far lighter and may be further glazed to produce objects with color or durable simulations of metal patina. Robust durable works for outdoor use require greater thickness and so will be heavier, with more care needed in the drying of the unfinished piece to prevent cracking as the material shrinks."
