Does anyone know of a source for glazed brick for use on a fireplace hearth? Or is there any way to achieve the appearance of a glazed brick and still have a fireproof surface?

There are many mfg. of glazed bricks. Check with your local tile or masonry showrooms. What, you already did that? Okay, go to the mfg. directly; US Brick, Buchtal, etc. come to mind. These are mostly what is called a "thin brick", the dimensions are the same except for thickness, which is usually 1/2". If no luck, e-mail me, give me a few days though because I'll have to dig out the prod. lit.
*I assume you don't mean refractory brick for inside the fireplace. There are several mfr's of glazed ceramic products. One is called SpectraGlaze, although this is really a glazed CMU product. If you want an actual brick-like product, what you are looking for is "SGFT" (Structural Glazed Facing Tile), with one of the biggest mfr's being Stark Ceramics, Canton, OH (1-800-321-0662). E-mail me if you need more info.
