This handsome antique brass spittoon, also known as a cuspidor, reflects the understated elegance of European utilitarian design from the late 19th to early 20th century. With its wide flared rim, recessed throat, and softly rounded body, the form was specifically designed for practical use while remaining visually discreet within domestic or public interiors.
Measuring approximately 6.5 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall, this example has a pleasingly balanced, weighty presence. The brass surface shows a warm, naturally developed patina with subtle tonal shifts and scattered surface marks, all consistent with age and long use. Its proportions and restrained styling align closely with Continental spittoons commonly found in European homes, cafés, and hotels of the period.
Today, while no longer serving its original function, this piece works beautifully as a decorative accent, sculptural brass object, or conversation piece in traditional, industrial, or eclectic interiors.
