Porcelain firxtures were popular in the late 1920's or the Art Deco period. Walter Von Nessen was awarded a patent in 1929 for an Art Deco Bathroom lighting fixture such as this. Rights to his design were assigned to the Efcolite Corporation, which later became know as American Standard.
Why throw something if it still works today? There was a reason then and it worked, well, I believed it will still work today. Sure, you want something up to date. But there is a lot to be said about incorporating history without being stodgy, old fashioned and too attached to the past. Mark and I preserved all porcelain fixtured in the bathroom. We only added a new chrome shower curtain rod, a full width mirror opposite the tub and an overhead cabinet.
