Chamber pot
It was only in the early to mid-20th century that people began
having toilets in their homes. Toilets used to be either outside or
in a shared landing in some tenements. So what would people do when
nature called and it was the middle of the night? They would crouch
or stand over the chamber pot! Nowadays indoor flush pulmbing
means most people don't have to worry about this, but chamber
pots are still in use in rural areas across the globe that lack
indoor plumbing facilities.
