This ironstone spittoon marked a time in history when hotels placed these around their establishments for their "chewing" guests.

Today they make great potpourri holders or planters.

It measures 7" across and is a creamware color with a bronze - brown color stripe....like that found on tea leaf ironstone.

There is a rough spot on the edge which looks like a very old repair, and crazing on the bottom. Please look at the details to see this. ( 1444-RP )
