Vintage pink unglazed porcelain ceramic bathroom floor tiles – pinwheel pattern. Could there be anything more luscious to find in a mid-century home?
Upon request, Colvin has sent in a close up of the floors in his pink and gray vintage bathroom. It really is so lovely – notice the slight shading of the dot within the pink 1×2’s. Ahhhhhh. Thank you, Raymond!
Beautiful! And the shading makes the tiles even cooler.
reminds me of the pink bathroom we had in the apartment I lived in during my short lived first marriage- I must have some photos of that bathroom, will have to dig them up!
Nice! I have the same pattern in both bathrooms… green in one and blue in the other. Same shading, too… even in the gray 1×2’s
Wow! These just brought back memories of school days!
I have the same thing in my bathroom, but some are missing. Do you know where I can find some of these in both colors?
Deb – check the navigation on the site for all the resources that we have identified.
I’m looking for vintage tile from the 20’s. I have a broken soap dish I am trying to replace with anything that will match the color and size. 4X4. I have been searching google for hours. There was a vintage bathroom place that aleays came up close to the top of the list and now it seems to be gone. Anyone know what it could be. I can’t remember the name. I’d send you a picture of my cool bathroom but I don’t see how to attach a pic.
does anyone know where I can get this replacement tile? I need about 6 sq. feet to finish a bathroom floor (repair) any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

Alas, World of Tile now closed.
I have the exact same, unglazed tile in our pink bathroom. I fear it has been waxed over the years because no matter how much I scrub it just looks DINGY! What is the best way to care for this tile? Should I try a wax stripper on it??
Hi Angela, I am not an expert on this and suggest you find an expert. Note this recent story as well: https://retrorenovation.com/2016/05/02/understanding-potential-lead-hazards-old-porcelain-enamel-bathtubs-sinks-ceramic-tile-any-age/
oh so cool… Where can I find replacement tiles like these?
I have all rose pink pinwheel pattern in my 1952 bathroom and need to replace about 6 pinwheel patterns to fix our damaged floor.
Thanks!
Hi Julia, I don’t have a source for old tiles like this except for vintage (start several Saved Searches with various word combos on ebay). Alternatively: Can you “steal” some from another spot in the bathroom? And if you do Be Safe/Renovate Safe https://retrorenovation.com/renovate-safe/
