Vintage Twyfords Cut Corner Basin | 1950s/60s Period Sink

Add authentic mid-century charm to your home with this genuine Twyfords cut corner basin. Dated from the late 1950s to the early 1960s, this basin features the stylish angled corners that were a signature of mid-century British sanitaryware. Its simple, clean lines make it an incredibly versatile choice, working equally well in a strictly period-correct bathroom or as a characterful focal point in a modern cloakroom.

Product Features & Styling

Crafted by Twyfords, a brand synonymous with durability and high-quality vitreous china, this basin offers a robust build and a deep, lustrous glaze. The “cut corner” design provides a refined geometric profile that was highly popular in mid-market homes of the era. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate the understated elegance of 20th-century ceramic design and want to preserve the heritage of their property.

Condition Report

This reclaimed basin has been thoroughly inspected and cleaned. It is in very good overall condition, especially notable for its lack of crazing or structural cracks. While there are some minor chips to the glaze, these are consistent with its age and use over the last 60 years, adding to its genuine vintage patina. The basin remains fully functional and ready to be reinstalled.

Technical Specifications

This basin offers generous washing space, measuring 57cm wide, 42cm deep, and 30cm high. Its proportions make it suitable for a main bathroom or a more substantial guest suite.
