Hi Kelly, I have attached your photos. What you have is a slop jar or waste bucket. It would have been part of the Victorian bedroom and part of a wash set. This would have been used to collect the used water from the washbowl and pitcher, or the waste from the chamber pot. Not sure if yours is marked but it looks like it could be Wedgwood, but may not be marked, probably dating from 1880s to the early 1900s. Without the lid, I have seen these used with floral decorations, wine buckets, magazine holder, etc. Thanks for visiting our site.
