Balterley Shell Satsuma Champagne Cistern (No Lid)

Keep your vintage suite in service with this genuine Satsuma Champagne cistern from the iconic Balterley Shell range. Known for its distinct, shell-like decorative ribbing, the Satsuma model was a premium choice for traditional bathrooms throughout the late 20th century. This unit is finished in Champagne, a soft and elegant neutral that coordinates beautifully with most period decors.

Product Features & Compatibility

• Iconic Satsuma Styling: Features the classic scalloped “shell” design that defines the Balterley aesthetic.

• Direct Replacement: Specifically designed for close-coupled configurations. This is an ideal solution if your existing Satsuma tank is cracked or damaged.

• Fully Restored: This reclaimed unit has been professionally cleaned and inspected. It is in good overall condition and ready for installation.

Important Note: Lid Not Included
