A pink toilet?

Elsie Bambridge, the daughter of Rudyard Kipling, bought the Wimpole Estate with her husband.  They set out to.restore Wimpole Hall.  Mr Bambridge died after a few years.  Mrs Bambridge carried on the work.  
 This is her bedroom.  It is a pleasant comfortable room leading through to a bathroom where  you can see a pink toilet on a plinth.  The bath,  handbasin and other bathroom furniture have been removed to give space to visitors to the house to walk through a small room safely.  But the pink toilet is a talking point with our visitors...why is it there on its plinth?  where are the other pieces?  And then usually it turns to a chat about the colours of bath ware in the early 60s.  Avocado comes out first every time!
