Some of the oldest chamber pots found by archeologists was discovered in ancient Greece, but portable toilets have come a long way since then. Whether referred to as "the Jordan" (possibly a reference to the river), "Oliver's Skull" (maybe a nod to Oliver Cromwell's perambulating cranium), or "the Looking Glass" (because doctors would examine urine for diagnosis), they were an essential fact of life in homes throught the centuries.
The alternative to using the chamber pot was a long cold walk to the outhouse in the middle of the night.
These beautiful pieces from the prolific sculpture and artist, Arthur. E. Pearce, produced around 1880 for the Doulton factory, proved that there could be resplendence in daily ablutions.
