Caradon Twyford Vista Semi Recessed Basin in Freshwater Blue | 1TH

Complete your vanity restoration with this genuine freshwater blue basin. Manufactured by Caradon Bathrooms (the parent group of Twyfords), this semi-recessed basin is part of the iconic Vista range. Vista was a staple of the 1990s and early 2000s, prized for its versatile design and durability, making it a common sight in both domestic renovations and high-end hotel fit-outs.

Condition: New Old Stock (NOS)

Finding original Freshwater Blue ceramics in an unused state is increasingly difficult.

• Never Installed: This item is New Old Stock, meaning it has remained in protective storage since its production and has never been plumbed or fitted.

• Immaculate Finish: The Freshwater Blue glaze—a soft, airy blue that offers a serene alternative to standard white—is in excellent condition, free from the limescale or surface wear found on reclaimed units.

• Ready for Plumbing: Guaranteed to be free from chips or cracks, providing a “factory-fresh” installation for your home.

Product Features and Design

• Semi-Recessed Configuration: Designed to be partially inset into a countertop or vanity cabinet. This style allows the front of the basin to overhang slightly, creating an attractive architectural profile while saving space within the cabinetry.

• 1-Tap Hole Layout (1TH): Features a single central tap hole, making it compatible with modern mixer taps for a streamlined, uncluttered look.

• Vista Durability: Known for its thick, high-quality vitreous china, the Vista range offers a robust build that is designed to withstand the rigours of daily family use.

Why Choose a Freshwater Blue Basin?

Freshwater Blue is a specific pigment that was exclusive to the Twyford group. Because it is no longer in production, finding an original freshwater blue basin is the only way to ensure a 100% tonal match for your existing suite. By choosing a New Old Stock item, you avoid the hassle of colour-matching modern alternatives while benefiting from a product that is effectively brand new.

Safe and Secure Delivery

Shipping semi-recessed basins requires specialised, impact-resistant packaging to protect the critical mounting rim. We offer secure delivery at an extra cost to ensure your Twyford Vista basin arrives in perfect condition. Alternatively, collection is available from our workshop.
