Except that it is a baked clay (or is indistinguishable from baked clay) and doesn't appear to have any fibers as you find in asbestos. It's held up pretty well. I was thinking of testing a ceramic polish, but it's not grouted so the polish would probably muck up the spaces between the tiles. Probably will try something light like Aldon tile cover.

Subject: [sccpartners] Looks like linoleum

Hi, I have been asked to look at sprucing up a floor that was installed in a house about 50-60 years ago.  What is this stuff?  It looks likel linoleum or vct, but a sample shows that it is hard and made of a clay substance with some sort of glaze on it.  Wondering if anyone has seen or worked with this.
Thanks.  See the pictures below.
