English term or phrase: old terra cotta

This hotel was recently renovated, using luxurious and warm materials such as marble, ***old terra cotta***, limestone, slate, wood panelling and fine fabrics.

Колеги, някой знае ли каква е тази "стара" теракота, че на мен ми прилича на втора употреба, която хич не ми се връзва с описанието на този наскоро реновиран хотел... Изразът не се среща другаде в текста.

теракота в старовремски стил

Explanation:
Просто идея, която ще прецените дали пасва в случая. :)

Аналогия с къщите в старовремски стил, макар че аналогията може би не е съвсем точна. :) Това всъщност са нови плочки, които имитират известно овехтяване и износване.

"Every piece of Old Terracotta is individually distressed to produce the eroded surface effect of a two or three hundred year old tile. Not only does this provide a charming period detail but also a surprisingly practical floor - due in part to the mellow blend of clays. This is a tile which positively thrives on neglect and never seems to show the dirt! "

стари плочки от печена глина

Explanation:
В първата референция се вижда използването на такива плочки - те са без цветно покритие и имат цвета на печената глина. В един френски сайт (реф. 2) са показани стари глинени плочки, които се продават.
