This substantial antique brass spittoon, or cuspidor, is a classic example of European utilitarian design from the late 19th to early 20th century. Distinguished by its generous scale and removable inner insert, this form was commonly used in European homes, cafés, clubs, and public interiors where tobacco use was customary.
Measuring approximately 9.75 inches in diameter and 4 inches tall, the spittoon features a cylindrical outer body with a rolled rim and a fitted, funnel-shaped insert with a central opening. This two-part construction allowed for easier cleaning while maintaining a refined, understated appearance. The brass surface displays a rich, time-earned patina with subtle color variation, surface marks, and oxidation consistent with age and use.
The restrained profile and practical engineering align closely with Continental examples, supporting its identification as European. Today, this piece serves equally well as a decorative brass object, historical interior accent, or collectible tied to social and smoking history.
