Vintage Pink Cast Iron Alcove Bathtub

Description : A vintage pink enameled cast iron alcove bathtub featuring a classic mid-century design with integrated apron and angled front corners. The original pink porcelain finish reflects the popularity of colorful bathroom fixtures from the 1940s–1960s. The tub shows signs of age and use, including mineral buildup around the drain, surface scratches, staining, and areas of enamel wear, making it a good candidate for professional refinishing or restoration.
