Royal Doulton Cut Corner Toilet Pan | 1950s S Trap Model

Secure a piece of British pottery history with this genuine Royal Doulton toilet pan. This specific model features a sophisticated “cut corner” style, a design originally pioneered by Whieldon Potteries in the 1930s. Following Royal Doulton’s acquisition of the firm, they continued to produce this popular design well into the late 1950s, making it a definitive look for mid-century bathrooms.

Product Features and History

This toilet pan is manufactured from high-quality white vitreous china, renowned for its durability and deep gloss. It features an S trap (floor outlet) configuration, which is essential for properties where the waste pipe exits directly through the floor. The cut corner architectural detailing provides a more refined aesthetic than standard rounded pans, making it an excellent choice for a bathroom restoration that requires a touch of 1930s to 1950s character.

Condition and Restoration

As a reclaimed item, this pan has been meticulously inspected and professionally cleaned. Its condition is very good for its age, with the original glaze remaining bright and smooth. Most importantly, there are no chips, cracks, or crazing present, ensuring that the piece is as structurally sound and sanitary as it is visually appealing.
