Twyfords Vista | Freshwater Blue Basin & Pedestal | New Old Stock

Refresh your interior with this genuine freshwater blue Basin & Pedestal. Manufactured in the 1990s by Twyfords (then part of the Caradon Bathrooms group), the Vista range is known for its crisp, clean lines and reliable British build quality. Freshwater Blue was a definitive shade of the decade—a light, spring-like pastel designed as a modern, refreshing alternative to the heavy, dark tones of the 1970s and 80s.

Product Features and Design

The Vista model offers a perfect balance of form and function, featuring a spacious wash area and a sturdy, elegantly tapered pedestal. Its minimalist design allows the unique Freshwater Blue glaze to take centre stage, making it an ideal choice for:

• Heritage Restoration: A perfect like-for-like replacement for damaged 90s suites.

• Modern Retro Styling: A subtle way to introduce period-correct colour into a contemporary cloakroom or bathroom.

Condition: Immaculate New Old Stock

This set is New Old Stock (NOS), meaning it has remained in professional storage since the 1990s and has never been used, plumbed, or installed. Unlike reclaimed units, this suite is in excellent condition:

• Zero Chips or Cracks: Factory-fresh structural integrity.

• Original Lustre: The vitreous china glaze retains its original smooth, non-porous finish and vibrant colour.

Why Choose Freshwater Blue?

Freshwater Blue remains one of the most sought-after discontinued Twyfords shades because of its calming, neutral quality. Because this freshwater blue Basin & Pedestal is unused, it offers the longevity and hygiene of a new product with the authentic pigment that modern white-focused manufacturers no longer produce.

Safe and Secure Delivery

We specialise in the transit of large, fragile ceramics. This suite is shipped using reinforced, impact-resistant packaging to ensure it reaches you in its pristine, unused state. Delivery is available at an extra cost, or you may arrange collection from our workshop.
