Peerless now seems is only offering three toilets in color colors, made new, in retro colors.
Best place to shop for these, I think:
Click right on the photo to get to these color toilets for sale!
UPDATE: I have seen toilets and sinks for sale >> here on Amazon << lots of colors and sinks too! Disclosure: I make a small commission if you purchase on Amazon using links in this story.
I contacted Matt Ford, President of Peerless Pottery, to inquire about which of their products were available in color. He replied:
The model of toilets we offer in colored pieces is (7160, 7660, and 7668) and we now have a nationwide supplier for us. The company name is Trumbull Industries. We offer Dresden Blue, Harvest Gold, Venetian Pink, Beige, Bone, Silver, and Biscuit.
Update May 24, 2016: Trumbull directed reader Ashley to find their products on this site: Bath 1. Ashley advises to also look on the homepage for discount codes. Thanks, Ashley!
Sinks in color, too — “maybe”
According to their catalog, Peerless doesn’t offer any of their sinks in colors other than white or bone, however when I asked Matt about getting their sinks in colors, he replied:
We offer all of them, however, availability is not very high since we do not have many requests. It would be best to call Trumbull Industries and have them place one on their next order. If they get enough requests they may begin stocking them.
Note the caveat: “If” they get enough requests they “may” begin stocking them.
Fortunately: We think that it’s going to be a lot easier finding a pink sink — vintage, than finding a working pink toilet vintage — and even then, a vintage toilet is likely not going to be low-flow.
So folks, if any of your are planning to build or restore a pink bathroom using new fixtures, there’s your options.
- Update Nov 2017: Best place to shop, I think is on Amazon
- An UPDATE (2/26/2106) from reader ASHLEY: “We called Trumbull Industries and they directed us to Bath1, where they said consumers can purchase these retro colored toilets. We searched for “Pottery” and they came right up! They also have a 5% coupon available to use right now!” Thank you, Ashley, we see them!
- Peerless Pottery’s online catalog
- Another possibility: Contact Trumbull Industries at their main office in Warren, OH: 1-800-477-1799. Matt tells me that Peerless Pottery has just sent their first truckload to Trumbull Industries this week, so you’ll have the best luck by calling the main branch in Warren, OH and asking for Jim Nagy, who may be the best person to help you with pricing and ordering information at this time.

Searching for a Kohler dark green commode and toilet seat to match existing bathroom fixtures. Bathroom with Kohler fixtures was built circa 1988. I believe the color was: teal blue.
Too bad they’re all 1.6 gpf models, not 1.28 gpf. That means they can’t be legally installed in California or several other draught-ridden states with similar laws. The discontinued Gerbers used only 1.28 gpf.
I live in California and it will break my heart if I have to install a white toilet into my beautiful rose bathroom. Wonder if they’ll even ship one of the 1.6 gpf models to me here. Sigh.
(PS, love the conversation with like-minded aficionados of vintage bathrooms!)
None of these places ship to Canada, as far as I’m aware – they really should.
Is there a store where I can go see these products? Thanks!
Not that I know of. Contact the company and see what they say.
Looking for Kohler Bathroom sink in French Vanilla. Octangular in shape.

Be aware that Venetian Pink and Shell Pink (Crane fixtures and some others) are different…Venetian is more of beigy-blush, whole Shell is more pink-pink. You can order color chips from Bemis Plumbling Supply (google it).
I’m looking for a good priced Blue Toilet round w seat
Bill, I don’t sell anything. Refer to the company profiled in the story — brite bold blue = hotlinks.
We found a blue for our 1953 Universal Rundle at Lowes of all places!
I have a coral peach 1950’s American Standard oblong toilet and need to replace the seat. Ordered a Whisper Close but didn’t think to measure installment holes. My toilet has 10 inch spread and the replacement is only a 6 inch spread. Original seat measures 18×18
Any suggestions on where to find a seat that will fit.
