CERAMIC PEEING PANS

1960s EA/NL/0110

No matter what happens to you, no matter how sick you get, no matter where you end up, you will always have to pee. At some point. If you would have found yourself in a hospital in the previous century, unable to move, you would have eventually ended up with one of these shoved under your bottom. After having functioned in such hospitals for probably years, these pans were replaced by new ones, perhaps of a more modern material than ceramics, and occasionally found a surprising, and eyebrow lifting second life as plant pots in 1960s gardens.
