I think the non-glazed parts of the toilet body are where it was to rest while being fired. To prevent the glaze from fusing the clay, and the kiln together.

Yeah, also they don't need to bother glazing the inside or the bottom because nobody will see it when it's installed.

I really like cleaning toilets

I've restored a few toilets before using Lysol Black Label Toilet bowl cleaner to clean up the tank and bowl as well as a scouring pad with Comet to scrub out the tank, & i know the hard work it takes to get a toilet looking like new again. I also replace any worn out parts or incorrect parts in the tank as well. In addition, I try to use older Fluidmaster 200A & 400A fill valves from the 1980s & 1990s when i can get them for older toilets from the 1950s-the 1980s. That being said, nice work!

Good jooooob...a learning experience for me. Though I can't help but think of using some acid through the tank hole to rid of minerals and rust inside the rinse holes and rinse out with water. But that's just me thinking here. I can be wrong on that.

I have a toilet where a person used to let the toilet sit without flushing or constantly clog it up. His medication made his stuff like tar at times. There was possibly blood in the toilet. I got it was clean as possible with cleaning vinegar, but I will try this acid

And awesome tips for removing the old caulk off the base, because I've had a lot of trouble with that. I'm working on restoring my 1980 Wellworth to install in my mom's bathroom.
