An early Victorian embossed wash down toilet bowl circ 1890's SOLD

An early Victorian advertisement of the many options that were available in the 1880's-1890'

Here is a photo of early water closets in the 1880's. Many were made in England for American companies. These early examples were fired pottery called earthenware or vitreous pottery. Some of the first companies to produce the first indoor Victorian plumbing fixtures were John Douglas, Thomas Crapper, JL Mott Iron Works, Peck Brothers, Standard Manufacturing, L Wolff Manufacturing, Standard Manufacturing and Meyer Sniffen.

An early example of the toilet before indoor plumbing. This would have been called the hopper or the chamber pot which is where the name potty came from.

Here is an example of a very unusual toilet. This one resembles an early hopper as its square with a funneled base but this one was a very unique wash down bowl with great detail, embossed with initials and gold leafing. SOLD

This one is one of my favorite styles. This one is called a frontal washout out water closet known as an elephant trunk toilet. One you'll never forget and these ones came in the clean smooth look and were available embossed and some even came with colored ornamentation. Very popular and were the few styles that remained in mainstream production into the 1920's. We have these available. See below. If you don't see what you're looking for here, send me a request. I either have or can get it for you.
