from approximately the 1960s I believe. Does anyone know of a good
source? My tile is a beige background with brownish dots. Just this
weekend, I was visiting someone their tile was pink with light brown
dots or was it gold. This must have been a fade for a while - sold
color tile with small dots or spots on them. Also their floor had
mosiac-like shades of pink, while mine is in shades of brown. Tubs,
sinks, toilets all coordinate.

Thanks,

Suz

tile 60's, deco, "with dots" etc etc etc

Thanks, but I haven't found anything yet, I've tried different
keywords.

I have an old install that has the white with gold speckles. It's on the
wall in a shower. They are 4 3/8" square. I actually saw these at HD but it
was special order.

If this sounds like it might be a match, try your local HD. Even if they do
not have the color but do have pattern, maybe you can get the
manufacturer's info and contact them to see if they make it.
