What is a Cuspidor for ? Is this really Carnival ? It doesn't have much of a pattern. I'm not even sure you can call it hobnail. I like it tho. Ed.

No photo?

A cuspidor is a polite word for a spittoon....i.e. something you spit into! Considered to be used by those who chewed tobacco, I have a theory that they were also much used during the times that TB was commonplace.

I can hopefully answer your other questions if you've got a photo  :)

Spittoon Thanks. I would never have thought of that. Looked like something to put a flower pot into. Ed.

That's an Imperial item (USA) and it's usually referred to as Hobnail Soda Gold spittoon (it is similar to the Soda Gold version, but the raised bumps earn it the extra bit in the title  :)). It's easily found in the USA, though not so common in the UK, of course.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
