Help finding correct tile

This is a long shot, but I gotta try. I just purchased a SFH in Cleveland. The bathroom has some unfinished tile and the seller claims they don't have any left over but that I should be able to find the same at Lowes. I have looked and cannot find it. I was wondering if there are any experienced rehabbers here that maybe happen to recognize this tile or can at least give me some pointers that can narrow my search? The one Im looking for is the smaller tiles on the left in the image.

I feel your pain. I've been that route. However, tile styles rotate each season as they sell out of stock.

The best you can do is remove one of the tiles in the least noticed place and walk it into a bunch of tile stores.

Very unlikely you'll find the exact one but you might find a close match. (and always buy extra)

As an aside: Both Home Depot and Lowes carry different tiles, cabinets, carpet, etc at every location. By that I mean, one location will have a pattern or color that no other location has. So you might want to try a few different locations. Some guys in the tile department will have been around long enough to be able to name the manufacturer and that helps the search.
