The present invention relates to a decorative refractory tile and it's method of use. This decorative tile utilizes a specially formulated clay body that undergoes dehydration and vitrification by firing in a specific manner with respect to temperature, time and rate of temperature increase. This thin, refractory tile has a high thermal conductivity, high structural strength able to maintain a minimal of cracking, distortion and spalling under rapid temperature changes and possesses a high resistance to erosion from ash-laden gases encountered in a conventional fireplace. This tile can be colored with heat resistant glazes, stains and oxides and sized or shaped within certain dimensional ranges, so as allow it to present patterns, designs or even pictures on the sides, floor and back of the firebox. When this tile is crafted by one with an artistic flair, and affixed to the walls, floor or sides of a firebox, aesthetically favorable fireplaces can be created.
