This unusual and rare chamber pot has twin handles and bears an amusing marriage quote to both sides which read as follows...

MARRIAGE

Some mirth to make is only meant,

We hope the same you'll not refuse,

But keep it safe and oft it use.

When in it you want to P'ss,

Remember them who sent you this.

PRESENT

Dear lovely wife pray rise and P'ss

Take you that handle & I'll take this,

To make some mirth is only meant

So let it be as they have said

We'll laugh and P'ss and then to Bed.
