Help me find glass tiles made of actual glass rather than just gloss ( not mosaic)

Google and even searches on tile sites just gives me high gloss ceramic tiles or those big made to measure glass splash backs. I can't afford the once piece splash back alas. I don't want tiny glass mosaic tiles just a reasonable size flat glass tile. Open minded on colour. Helpppppp please

Would it work if you bought a glass shelf and stuck that vertically on the wall ( without the brackets obs )
Something like this www.argos.co.uk/product/2677204
or even ones meant for fridges like them

If you want it coloured you could try painting the back of it before you put it up.

Have you tried the Speculo range at Topps Tiles? It comes in a range of 6 colours.

@SolitudeIsHighlyOverrated yes these are the only ones I can find. Very pricey per sqm m, but it might be that they just are. Hard to find anything to compare with those. They are nice.

@SamBeckett GrinI can't imagine sticking actual shelves as would have holes for the mounts. Anything clear would mean looking at all the adhesive, I wouldn't want to see brush marks by painting it.

I guess you could get a quote from a glass merchant for coloured glass pieces?

I had a quote for glass splashbacks for my new kitchen and couldn't believe the price (locally was £450 per sq m, plus £50 per cut out for each socket).

I'm going to use giant ceramic tiles instead longways and the size of only one between the worktop and top cupboards. Costs a few hundred as opposed to a few £1000!
