I have been collecting antiques my entire life. The first thing I got was a white ceramic potty, the kind that was under the bed for emergencies, that I found in my grandfathers garage. He kept nails in it. When I asked him for it he said I should take it because it was my great grandmothers potty. That was about 1950 and I was 10 years old. My entire house is antique, I don’t think I have anything purchased new except mattresses and appliances.

Same here, not much new in our house.

We bought an English Staffordshire chamberpot with cover at an auction a few years ago. The auctioneer offered it as a one handled covered casserole dish. He wasn’t joking either, he actually thought that is what it was.
