Our 5-1/2" Double-End Pedestal Tub with White Exterior features cast-iron construction with a porcelain interior, just like the antiques. But while vintage models mounted faucets on the tub"s inner wall, ours mount on the rim, or "˜deck," leaving room for more water and a better bathing experience. The hand-smoothed exterior is primed and painted a durable semi-gloss White.
