Large 1980s Two-Tone Peach Washbasin | Semi-Recessed Fireclay
Elevate your bathroom design with this spectacular large peach washbasin. Likely imported from France during the 1980s, this basin is a masterclass in bold, late-century continental style. It features a unique two-tone peach glaze, offering a sophisticated gradient that adds depth and character to the ceramic. Crafted from heavy-duty fireclay, this basin is significantly more robust and heat-resistant than standard vitreous china, making it a lifelong investment for your home.
Product Features & Installation
This is a semi-recessed vanity basin, designed to be integrated into a custom countertop or vanity unit. Its substantial proportions provide an expansive washing area, ideal for a primary bathroom or a high-end master suite. The architectural profile allows the front of the basin to overhang the furniture, showcasing the beautiful two-tone peach finish and creating a dramatic focal point.
Condition & Quality
Despite its age, this basin is in immaculate overall condition. It has been meticulously inspected and is free from any chips, cracks, or surface damage. The fireclay construction ensures a smooth, non-porous finish that has perfectly retained its original 1980s lustre. Reclaiming a fireclay piece of this scale in such pristine condition is an exceptionally rare find for the vintage market.

Why Choose This Peach Basin?
The 1980s “Peach” trend was all about warmth and luxury. Finding a basin that measures over a metre in width is difficult enough; finding one in a premium fireclay two-tone finish is nearly impossible. This piece is perfect for those who want to move away from the “standard” and embrace a bathroom that feels like a boutique European hotel from the golden age of 80s design.
Collection & Delivery Information
Due to the significant weight and size of this fireclay item, collection from our Cotswolds workshop is preferred. However, we understand the logistical challenges of large ceramics, so specialised delivery can be arranged at an extra cost. We use reinforced, palletised packaging to ensure this large peach washbasin reaches you safely.
