Old style mint green tile

Hello folks, I'm looking for a source for 1930's/40's/50's style green bathroom wall tile (mint, seafoam, etc.) can anyone please point me in the right direction ?

Thank you !

Sorry, no help here. Matching old tile(color or size) or fixtures is practically impossible. But you may be able to find a contrasting tile that compliments the old.

This web page give information on a company that says they make reproductions of tile. http://www.handmadetile.com/

Maybe they can help or direct you.

Will this be a retro-look bathroom to match a restoration? Curious as to what type of project this is being used on. Sounds interesting.

You will not have success in locating an exact match in tile to the retro fixtures. The matching toilet lids were dropped years ago--thus the white lid in the photo.

If your heart is set on using the retro fixtures, pick a complementary tile and color scheme to work with the color. Toilet lid might look better if using a wood or other decorative style rather than white.
