A toilet bowl from Weald and Downland Museum

I choose this image because of the decoration of a now blank object.  In the 19th century inside toilets were a privileged that only the wealthy had so they were a symbol of class. The concept of adding adornment to a toilet if a concept that we have lost over time.
