nl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koninklijke_Sphinx
Koninklijke Sphinx, formerly Petrus Regout & Co., locally known as De Sphinx, was a Dutch company founded by Petrus Regout in 1834 in Maastricht. As the first large-scale mechanized factory, De Sphinx is seen as the cradle of the industrial revolution in the Netherlands.[At Regout's death in 1878, approximately 2500 workers were employed. The company was initially known as a producer of glassware, tableware and other household pottery; later mainly of tiles and sanitary ware, such as washbasins and toilet bowls. The factory ceased to exist in 2009, although the brand name "Sphinx" was still used by the Swiss Geberit until 2019. Sphinx Tiles, which was split off in 1997, has also had no production facilities in Maastricht since 2008. The Sphinx and the closely related Regout family have left many traces in Maastricht and the surrounding area.

Being in a new place I was feeling a bit overwhelmed, so i found a loo in order to gather my thoughts. The porcelain was from Laufen and the flusher was from Geberit. Even the grouting in the tiles was clean - I could almost have been back in Germany. Of course, I was calm again very quickly!

The Helios-81 Automat has a Kiev 10/15 mount. There is no adapter for this mount so I converted the mount to M42.

Het Eiffelgebouw uit 1928-1941 van de voormalige (Koninklijke) Sphinx-fabriek in Maastricht. Is nu huisvesting van uiteenlopende bedrijfs- en culturele activiteiten. Sphinx sanitair bestaat tegenwoordig alleen nog als merk van de Zwitserse firma Geberit, de producten worden elders gefabriceerd. Het gebouw heeft niets met Gustave Eiffel te maken, alleen was het ten tijde van de bouw zo groot en hoog - 'net als de Eiffeltoren' - dat het in de volksmond de naam Eiffelgebouw kreeg. In een passage in het pand is een erg aardige expositie over de geschiedenis van Sphinx te zien - uiteraard op tegeltableaus.
