Vintage Pink Cast Iron Alcove Bathtub

Description : Vintage pink cast iron alcove bathtub with integrated apron front and stepped Art Deco-inspired exterior detailing. This mid-century bathroom fixture features its original soft pastel pink enamel finish, a deep soaking basin, and a built-in overflow and drain assembly. The clean rectangular profile paired with molded geometric side lines reflects the popularity of colorful bathroom fixtures during the postwar housing boom. The tub shows wear consistent with age, including surface scratches, edge wear, and minor finish imperfections, making it a strong candidate for restoration or reuse in a retro-inspired bath renovation.
