Porcelain Bathroom Fixtures Porcelain Architectural items add to your design. Porcelain antique. Porcelain antique bathroom elements. The two long ones are to hold a glass shelf. The two shorter sets are used with a wooden dowel to use towel bars. Guaranteed old, they were ones we didn't need in our home. The long one weigh about 3 pounds for the pair. The shorter ones weigh 2 pounds for the four. The long ones are just under 6 inches in length, so the glass shelf would be 6 inches deep or slightly under. The glass is fairly inexpensive, go to any glass replacement firm. There are a very few nicks, but in remarkable condition for their age. The 4 towel brackets are about 3 1/2 inches tall. No nicks.
