Retro tile from British Ceramic Tile

It seems quite ironic to me, that the U.K. seems be pretty far ahead of the U.S. in terms of embracing the midcentury modern aesthetic. They have English Rose Cabinets, Smeg refrigerators, and now I’ve discovered British Ceramic Tile and their Candy Color collection. At under $1 a tile (U.S., even with the weak dollar), the price is great for these basic 4×4 field tiles.
And they even have a classic Mamie pink… a very nice sky blue… and what appears to be a pretty authentic mint green - the first I have ever seen! Additional colors available on the website — and a number of colors available in either glossy, or flat.
Alas for us Yanks, I can’t believe it would be possible to import these, affordably…

[...] friends, but the Maple Leaf tile sold by Olympia Tile has been discontinued. As you will recall, I really liked some of their color. I am told, that we may still be able to get the tile until all inventories are depleted. Meanwhile [...]
Hi guys
Listen I live in the UK, and I would be more than happy to help on this if anyone wants them. I’m sure I could order and ship cheaper than you guys could.
Anyway the offer is there, if anyone wants to take it up. It’s pretty rare that there is something good in the UK that you guys can’t get, I spend my life visiting the states and despairing over what I can’t bring home!!
