If you have any of this tile, I would like to buy it.
Photos of the tile and the box label are attached.

I may have some of these tiles. There is no box or label but they look to be the same as shown in your photo. If you wish to pursue this, contact me at the following. Dorecker@yahoo.com

If that was Pam that posted in NextDoor, the tile that she has is 15 3/4 inches square. The tile that I need is 16.4 inches square.

Be aware that if you put down a thick floor over the tile you may create a tripping hazard, and if you do not take this under the refrigerator, stove and dishwasher you may have future problems. For example, all 3 may be difficult to move. The increased height for the stove might be out of the adjustment range on the feet resulting in uneven counter area. The increased height in the dishwasher might cause mounting problems to the top of the dishwasher. I usually suggest removing the old flooring, but this is expensive and really dirty.
After reading some of the comments, maybe you could find a contrasting or complementary tile and then do a border around the new counters. This would involve cutting existing tiles and fitting the new ties, thin set and grout.

A border around or on just one side of the new island has been the backup plan. The current tiles are laid on a diagonal. I am trying to avoid the mess of cutting and taking up tiles in order to make the border work.
