Condition Report

Good structural condition. Lightly worn glaze. There a couple of hairline cracks to the bowl. The basin has been tested and these do not leak. Taps turn freely but have not been tested. Plunger waste is present and designed with a rubber seal between brass; this is a snug fit. The seal is not perfect so there is a constant leak when the waste is in a closed position, but this is how it was designed and is operating as it should. The sink can hold a reasonable amount of water for approx 10 minutes.

Wear

Wear consistent with age and use. Minor Losses, scuffs, and scratches.
