Hi
I'm currently putting in a new gravity feed shower and need to purchase about 20 tiles to match the existing tiles, they are about 30+ years old and message 110 x 110mm (4.25 inch) by very thin! they are a veined pattern, I remember in the 70's everyone used them but I can't find any on the net etc, todays tiles are a different size. The colour doenst matter as Im painting them with white tile paint

Can anyone help me find some?

Thanks in advance
Mike
