This extraordinary antique Victorian chamber pot was produced by James Edwards & Co. of Staffordshire, England, a well-known pottery manufacturer active during the mid-to-late 19th century (c. 1851–1882).
The piece is crafted in ironstone ceramic, decorated with intricate transferware floral motifs in soft yellows, pinks, and blues, accented by raised scrollwork and gilded trim. The handle is ornately styled with a leafy design, giving it an elegant presence well beyond its original utilitarian purpose.
The underside bears the maker’s mark for James Edwards & Co., along with registration markings. This piece has survived in exceptional condition for its age, with crisp details and only light wear to the gilding.
