I have an unusual flow blue toilet bowl stamped Bates Elliot and co. potters. Has anyone ever seen one or know what it may be worth.

Hi Pete, I researched the potter Bates Elliott & Co. and found they were in operation from c.1870-1875. Subsequently, Bates Walker & Co. c.1875-1878. On occasion one will see a toliet. It's not our practice on this web site to give value estimates. There are many factors that enter in when assessing value. Some of these factors might be condition, coloring, age, rarity and popularity. Hope this helps. Margaret
