1900s ‘The Progress’ Antique WC Pan with Sepia Poppy Motif

Bring authentic Edwardian sophistication to your period restoration with ‘The Progress’ antique toilet pan, manufactured around the 1900s—likely by the famed Johnson Brothers of Stoke-on-Trent. Featuring a intricate, warm brown floral poppy transfer against a classic white ceramic glaze, this striking WC pan serves as a majestic focal point for any heritage bathroom or cloakroom project.

Design Features

• ‘The Progress’ Branding: Adorned with clear, period-correct makers’ branding stamped directly into the ceramic design.

• Ornate Floral Transfer: Features detailed sepia-brown poppy motifs that wrap elegantly around the bowl and foot of the pan.

• Versatile P-Trap Outlet: Engineered with a traditional P-trap configuration, making it compatible with both vintage high-level installations and modern plumbing setups.

Condition

Preserved in immaculate condition for a genuine antique piece that is well over 100 years old. The vitreous ceramic glaze retains its high-gloss sheen, and the transfer printing remains crisp and vibrant without major wear or structural damage.
