They look like a quarry tile.  However, the glaze looks a little shot on them.  I would therefore do the following:

1.  Deep clean (To get all the crud out of the faces and the grout lines)
2.  Allow to thoroughly dry. (Use a snail drier that will speed things up)
3.  Seal them with an impregnating sealer(This will stop a topical wax or polish sinking into them)
4.  Either wax them, or polish with Tile Brite or apply a topical sealer.
