| This is the lid of a chamber pot used at the Stanwix Hall Hotel in the early years after it opened in 1844. It is made of a kind of pottery called annular ware, named for the rings that are used to decorate it. This has the additional design of the wavy line, which is called "common cable" because it looks like a rope. This type of pottery was popular until about 1850, only six years after the Stanwix Hall Hotel opened. It was replaced by a kind of pottery called Ironstone. | ||
