A Prime Example

Photo of a WC bowl made by J Jenkins & SonThis beautiful embossed WC bowl was made by J Jenkins & Son in London probably between 1837 and 1920. The bowl is in virtually perfect condition, no chips or cracks that are discernable. (Click on the image on the left to open a larger version)

It is a prime example of times when toilet fittings, and indeed many public toilet buildings, were considered as things of great importance. The owner is seeking another bowl of this type. Can you help?
