Subway tile for kitchen - Ann Sacks Capriccio vs Daltile Artigiano

Hi...I am planning to go with white subway tile for my kitchen backsplash. I like a more artisan textured looking tile with depth. (countertop is Caesarstone Concrete 2003) with white shaker cabinets.

Two tiles I've seen so far that I like are the Ann Sacks Capriccio field tile and Daltile Artigiano. (3x6). I noticed the Ann Sacks is slightly thicker. Does anybody have any advice or thoughts on quality or look to help me decide? Does a thicker subway tile have more textured to it when it is grouted and on the wall? Does the Ann Sacks have more variation in color because it is handmade (which i might like)? Price isn't as much of an issue, I just want it to look really nice quality. Thanks!

    In my opinion, the quality of a tile job is reflected is the planning, cuts and quality of installation. Go with the tile you like best, just make sure you have an experienced tiler.

    Hello, we're waiting to receive a sample of Daltile Artigiano Italian Alps. May I ask if the edges of the white tile show tan, the rustic look? We are hoping not...we need an all white tile to match the white marble console countertop. I'd love to hear more on Italian Alps...

    Thank you very much cheryldina2, it looks just lovely and exactly what we were looking for. My husband wants it to turn out like yours...may I ask what color grout you'd used?

    You will incur extra labor charges because the tile installer will need to float the shallow pieces. I wouldn't do it.

    I think it was polyblend bright white....possibly snow white, but I know we went with the closest match to the tile color.

    Just noticed this thread. I will respond cause there is not much information on these tiles and others might find this helpful. I used Daltile Artigiano in the Venice (dark taupe) in my bathroom recently; it looks great but was a difficult project for my installer. The paler edges of some of the tiles do show a tiny bit of tan but barely enough to notice. The surface of the walls is slightly uneven, as you would expect for this type of rustic tile. I used the dark brown tiles with three rings of matte black pencil molding.

    I would love to see pictures of your bathroom. I love the dark taupe and am thinking of using it in my shower and/or tub surround and I think black accents would be lovely. Thanks!
