Whisper Pink Ideal Standard Tulip Pedestal Basin 1TH

Vintage Whisper Pink Ideal Standard Tulip Basin | 1980s Pink Sink

This genuine vintage Ideal Standard basin represents the pinnacle of late 1980s and early 1990s ceramic design. Featuring the gently flared, organic curves characteristic of the famous Tulip range, this versatile pink sink serves as a striking focal point for any period restoration. Finished in the beautifully subtle Whisper Pink—a delicate pastel shade also widely known across the trade as Misty Pink.

Design Features

• The Tulip Silhouette: Celebrated for its fluid, sculptural lines that taper elegantly into the pedestal, mimicking the natural form of a blooming tulip.

• Modern Single Tap Hole: Configured with a single central tap hole (1TH), making this whisper pink sink perfectly compatible with contemporary monobloc mixer taps or modern retro-styled brassware.

• Dual Installation Flexibility: This versatile pink basin can be securely wall-mounted as a standalone feature or paired with a matching pedestal to suit your layout preferences.

Condition

It remains in excellent structural condition, retaining its deep, original high-gloss vitreous china glaze. As a genuine salvaged item from the 1980s or 1990s, it may display minor, negligible signs of historic use.
