Item 7428
 
Coming to you from Doc's Crocks is this wonderful Decorated Stoneware Cuspidor Spittoon.
 
Circa 1865, it was made by either Henry or Richard Remmey of Philadelplhia.  They made stoneware in Philadelphia at the family pottery from the 1820's to the turn of the century (Phil Shaltenbrand, Big Ware Turners, pp. 8-9). 
 
This beauty features a Tooled Base, Cobalt Accent around the Drain Opening, and Three Brushed Cobalt Florals around the Outside.  Measures 4 1/2" tall and 8 1/2" wide across the top.    
 
Excellent Condition. Two 2 1/2" surface glaze lines on top (closeup), and two flat chips on the underside (1/4", 1/2").  That's it!  No top chips, hairlines, cracks, stains, or restoration.  The chip seen on the base in the back is in the making and glazed over.
