Talk to any local tile showrooms and ask if they think there is a market out there for these.

I would be very surprised if there wasn't

If you can make a profit at those sort of prices, you should make a killing. All you need to do is find your market. The top prices will be for personalised ones, one-off assignments illustrating family members, crests, valued pets etc.
