She had a different job a century ago — a tiny chamber pot, made around 1900 as a traveling salesman's sample or a fine dollhouse miniature, when porcelain houses in Germany and Staffordshire painted even their smallest pieces by hand. The scalloped gold fringe along her rim and the thin blue line beneath it were brushed on by someone, stroke by stroke, over a hundred years ago. These days she's found her true calling: standing beside a candle, holding matches at the ready, looking far too elegant for either of her jobs.
Circa 1890–1915. Approx. 1.5" tall, 2.5" across. Handle fully intact; soft rubbing to gold rim from a century of handling. Matches not included.
