Royal Doulton | Sun King Toilet Pan (S Trap) | New Old Stock

Bring a warm, 1970s glow to your bathroom with this genuine Sun King toilet pan. Manufactured by the prestigious Royal Doulton, this “low level” model captures the era’s signature style with its rounded, funky silhouette. Sun King was a staple of 1970s design, offering a vibrant golden-yellow hue that remains a favourite for retro enthusiasts and mid-century restorers.

Product Features and Compatibility

This toilet pan features an S-trap (floor outlet) configuration, designed for plumbing where the waste exits directly through the floor. It is intended for a low-level installation, meaning it is used in conjunction with a wall-mounted cistern and a connecting flushpipe.

Universal Colour Match: One of the best features of this piece is its cross-brand compatibility. The Sun King glaze was standardised across the major UK pottery houses. This pan will be a perfect tonal match for items made by:

• Armitage Shanks

• Johnson Brothers

• Shires

• Twyfords

Condition: Immaculate New Old Stock

Finding a Sun King toilet in a reclaimed state often means dealing with decades of wear; however, this pan is New Old Stock (NOS). It has never been plumbed, used, or installed, and has been kept in professional storage since the 1970s. As a result, it is in immaculate overall condition, with the vitreous china glaze retaining its original factory-fresh shine.
