historic note on colour: until the 1920's, sanitary ware makers, including the chicago crane company, and pittsburgh standard sanitary manufacturing company, had not advertised in consumer mags due to the 'unmentionable' nature of their products. the advent of art deco films with undressed starlets bathing indoors in the late 1920s, heralded the emergence of full page ads depicting luxury fantasy bathrooms. standard (which became ideal standard) and crane began offering porcelain in designer shades, as well as white. in 1929, colours offered were st. porchaire brown, clair de lune blue, ming green, orchid of vincennes, ivoire de medici, royal copenhagen blue, meissen white, ionian black, rose du barry and tang red.
please note: the bath is extremely heavy and this should be taken into consideration when purchasing the suite. the buyer must arrange for collection and transportation.
