Post-Medieval — 17th century; 1600-1699
Bedpan
Surrey/Hampshire border ware bedpan, which would have been used to allow a bedridden person to go to the toilet. Its curved rim prevents the contents from spilling and also provides a seat for the user. The bedpan has a central well, recurving rounded rim flange and horizontal tubular handle (the end is missing) with several cordons. The vessel has a green glaze inside and out and the base has uneven knife trimming.
