Bad news, friends, but the Maple Leaf tile sold by Olympia Tile has been discontinued. As you will recall, I really liked some of their colors. I am told, that we may still be able to get the tile until all inventories are depleted. Meanwhile - I definitely recommend you try B&W Tile, and if you are in the U.K, this British Tile. I don’t know if they export to the U.S. but I sure do love their colors right down to the PINK and the MINT, which is perfect vintage 50s 60s! Hey Fiona and Clare - you have better sources for tile than we do!
Finally, there are some good retro colors now available from Dal-Tile and American Olean, and possibly U.S. Ceramic (I do not have their latest board.) Read the Tile Category for all updates on this most critical subject!
oooh I commented on a another article about this tile. If anyone wants this I am very happy to order and ship to you.
I spend my visits to the states in despair at all the things I want but can’t bring home and I’d be very happy to help anyone. Not sure how costly it would be but I’m happy to help if I can!
Fiona in the UK!
If you still need, EBAY right now has some bottle green & jade listings.
I thnk all listings are “buy it now”. “Rainsplitter” is the lister. Has some medium brown & dark black as well.
I just bought the “oatmeal” to fill in some holes.
