Ideal Standard Tiara Toilet Pan | 1970s Sorrento Blue

Make a bold statement in your restoration project with this genuine Sorrento blue toilet pan. Part of the elegant Tiara range by Ideal Standard, this pan is finished in Sorrento Blue—a rich, deep blue shade produced specifically by the manufacturer. While many 70s colours leaned toward earthy tones, Sorrento Blue offered a cool, dramatic alternative that became immensely popular for its high-end, modern appearance.

Product Features & Installation Flexibility

The Tiara model is known for its graceful, balanced silhouette, making it a versatile choice for a variety of bathroom layouts. This pan is primarily designed for a low-level configuration, where it is connected to a cistern via a flush pipe. However, its clean design also makes it suitable for use with a concealed back-to-wall cistern, allowing you to integrate a piece of 1970s history into a more contemporary, minimalist setting.

Condition & Coordination

This reclaimed item has been professionally cleaned and fully restored. The vitreous china retains its original deep gloss and vibrant colour, having been inspected to ensure it is structurally sound and ready for a second life in your home.

If you are looking to build a full, colour-matched toilet set, we have matching Sorrento Blue cisterns available while stocks last. Purchasing these together ensures a perfect tonal match, which is essential for maintaining the visual impact of this specific blue palette.

Why Choose Sorrento Blue?

Sorrento Blue is one of the more elusive colours from the Ideal Standard archives. Because it was an exclusive pigment, finding a genuine Tiara pan in this condition is a rare opportunity to preserve the authenticity of a period suite. It pairs beautifully with chrome or silver fittings and acts as a stunning focal point against neutral or monochrome tiling.

Safe & Secure Delivery

Shipping heavy vintage ceramics requires expert care to ensure they arrive intact. We offer specialised delivery at an extra cost, using reinforced, high-impact packaging to ensure your Sorrento blue toilet pan arrives in its restored condition, ready for installation.
