Mid-Century Vitreous China Bidet with Original Nickel Hardware – 15" W x 26" D x 16" T

Description :
This mid-century vitreous china bidet features a streamlined, oval basin form paired with original brushed nickel cross-handle hardware and a vertical rinse nozzle. Measuring 15" wide by 26" deep and 16" tall, the fixture balances functionality with elegant simplicity—a hallmark of mid-century bathroom design. The vitreous glaze remains bright and intact, showing only minor wear consistent with age and light use. This bidet retains all three original control handles and the center rinse fixture, making it an excellent candidate for restoration or display in a period-accurate setting.
