What is a chamber pot?
Before the advent of indoor plumbing, people who needed to go to the bathroom at night would use a chamber pot to urinate into. Most of them would fit under a bed. This one is a larger size. The chamber pot would then be emptied it in the morning. If a person had a maid, she would empty the pot or pots as part of her morning duties. (Lucky lady...)
