James Rylands of Summers Place Auctions describes an 1840s mahogany portable water closet, or as he calls it 'a campaign karzi', brought to Salvo Fair 2011 by Norman Cockroft of Alscot Bathroom Company as a taster for the Alscot clearance auction sale held by Wellers later that summer.

The blue and white transfer-printed porcelain bowl was made by Twyfords, and was highly unusual in still having its counterweighted blue and white enamelled trap, together with the mahogany cabinet, brassware pump cistern and bucket which, as Mr. Rylands eloquently pointed out, the military owner's manservant would readily have emptied.
