Where can I find ceramic tub tile to finish at the point where tub meets tiled wall? I've been to several tile stores, Home Depot and Loew's. Nobody seems to carry it anymore. Thank you for a reply.

Hi there,
Maybe I'm misunderstnading what you're saying, but I believe the reason the special tiles aren't made any more is because most tubs have what's called a "tile flange" on them now (a lip that comes up and goes under the tiled level).
You install the tub, then make sure that the wallboard is roughly flush with the tile flange, and apply the tile to the wallboard, with the lowest row overlapping the tile flange. Then you apply caulk between the tile and the tub.
If you're using a new tub, check to see if you have a tile flange. If you're using an old tub, you may have to go to a specialty tile shop to have them order in the tiles.
Good luck!
