Crane Criterion Bath, 1959

The Crane Criterion Bath and Lavatory, equipped with the company’s patented “Dial-ese” quarter-turn controls, whose handles had clear Lucite knobs. In the background is a decorative accessory that became quite popular in the late 1950s — the so-called “genie bottle,” a tall, tapered container that could be used for bath salts or oils. The tub surround is clad with the pre-grouted sheet tile that was just coming into widespread use.
