Victorian unglazed tiles

[esvery12]

Hi, I am renovating a Victorian house and want to use a white octagon and black dot tile on the floor, in a traditional unglazed tile. I've found affordable unglazed square tiles but the market in octagonal tiles appears to be sewn up tight by specialist 'Victorian tile' companies whose products are so expensive I can't afford them! I find it hard to believe that someone, somewhere, isn't still making a simple pattern like this for less than £100 per square metre. Can anyone help?

The 6"x6" white octagon with black dot should cost you around £50/m2 if you buy from somewhere like the 'Tile Source' warehouse.
I bought some for a project 3 months ago and that 'original style' pattern cost me £48.
