Twyfords Celtic | Mink (Chocolate Brown) Back to Wall Toilet Pan

Complete your retro restoration with this genuine twyfords mink toilet pan. Part of the classic Celtic range, this back-to-wall WC pan is finished in the iconic and highly rare Mink glaze. A staple of the 1970s and early 1980s, Mink is a deep chocolate brown with a sophisticated, subtle purple hue—a color exclusively produced by Twyfords and Royal Doulton.

Product Features and Versatility

The Celtic model is a traditional washdown pan, engineered for a reliable and efficient flush. Its back-to-wall design allows for a clean, streamlined installation:

• Concealed Compatibility: Designed to be used with a hidden low-level or high-level cistern housed within a vanity unit or behind a stud wall.

• Space-Saving Profile: Its compact 49cm depth makes it an excellent choice for smaller retro cloakrooms or en-suites without sacrificing period style.

Condition: Reclaimed & Remarkable

Finding brown ceramics from the 1970s in good condition is a challenge, as dark glazes often show limescale and wear. However, this pan is in very good overall condition. It has been carefully salvaged and thoroughly inspected to ensure there are no marks, chips, or cracks. The vitreous china glaze retains its original deep, glossy “Mink” finish.
