A Wonderful Antique 19th Century Spittoon.

Spittoons like this one were used as containers for spit, especially by users of chewing and dipping tobacco, and  could be found both inside and outside of public places, such as inns and public houses. From the late 1800s, spitting was discouraged as it was realised that the habit could spread potentially fatal diseases.

Condition is good, commensurate with age and use. Structurally sound. One small chip to bottom as photographed.
