Jim-
Because one of the OP's considerations is color match?
If the "crack" is only in the glaze & not in the base material it
could be a total non-problem.
A "anti-flood supply hose" could be an answer.
I've got a 1930 home with lavender (rose) & black bathroom.
Lavender pedestal sink, tub & toilet.....if I have a problem with the
sink or the toilet I guess I'll just replace it with a modern white
one? No.
Some people drive 65 Mustangs & assume the risks associated with that
decision. Their choice..
cheers
