Can anyone identify the attached (photos x 2) WC and cistern please? All the nationals can't help; someone must have an idea. It's a hefty specimen and, as far as I can ascertain, not from one of the minstream suppliers/distributors. Any decent suggestions gratefully received. First time post. Thanks.

Can I ask why you need it identifying?

Don't like not knowing, irritating.

I wouldn’t worry about who made it.
Decent looking toilet and only things you need to be thinking about is if the toilet seat is replaceable (if standard shape and size, then no worries) and if spares are obtainable for cistern works.
Although you can just replace entire works with another make.

If cistern or pan cracks someday, just buy a different and known brand

Many thanks, hoping someone may have installed one in the past and thus identify.

Buy a good book and get 'into' something else is my advice

If there's no marking on the toilet to identify a manufacturer then you'll have no chance of finding out. And for future reference a wc is a water closet, not a toilet pan

The cistern works (flush valve, push button and the fill valve) can be a known brand and irrelevant what the toilet brand they are supplied with is.
You could compare the works to what Toiletspares.co.uk have.
