Bedpan
1822 - 1844
Flattened circular container with rounded ring-like top around a wide opening and removable, horizontal, scored baluster handle with tiny finial and spool-shaped cap that screws off threaded collar at side for easy cleaning (contents can be poured out); flat bottom, no foot ring. Horizontal seam at midbody. Bottom underside struck twice with circular Poseidon or Neptune touchmark of Edgar & Son, placed opposite the secondary mark of a crowned "X" above "EDGAR / & SON" and three pseudo hallmarks (fourth possibly gone): a right-facing lion (or other animal) passant, imperial crown, and "E&C\o", all in serrated surrounds.
