They were traditionally of the barrel type ceramic roof tiles, what is referred to today as cap and pan roof tiles. It was specifically the Spanish ceramic roof tile that made its way to North America, brought by the Spanish explorers to Mexico and the New World. Though the ceramic roof tile was hand made at the time, today there are many large ceramic roof tile manufacturers and they are made by machines.
