How does a handmade tile differ from a commercial tile?
The difference between machine-made versus hand-made has more to do with style than technique. Handmade tile tends to have a more historical and comfortable look to it due to the handmade and cut quality of the edges and the hand glazed nature of the tile, whereas a commercial tile tends to be more uniformly square and consistently glazed; a very modern and crisp look. Make your choice based on your personal tastes and budget.
