Are you curious how they made toilets 100 years ago?  
Here is the answer in 3d:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=275662295

For the web-impaired, this is a very unusual boxed set
of 9 views by Underwood & Underwood, showing how they
made bath tabs, etc.  The title of the set is "Making
Sanitary Ware" and the titles of the 9 views are:

(1) Grinding clay for manufacture of sanitary ware
(2) Mixing machine preparing clay for sanitary ware
(3) Turning a bowl on the potter's wheel
(4) Smoothing edges of bath tubs just from the mould
(5) Glazing bath tubes in a great factory
(6) Potter shaping leg of a porcelain wash-stand
(7) Finishing with a lathe the leg of a porcelain wash-stand
(8) Filling a kiln with sanitary ware before firing
(9) Finished porcelain ware for an up-to-date bath-room

Quite a bit of work back then!
