[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 9461397, member: 88"][URL]https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/rare-antique-little-boy-peeing-bisque-perfume[/URL] This is referred to as a perfume bottle or "pisseur de parfum" but many think it was a novelty item to be filled with water. It would have originally had a rubber bulb on top that when squeezed would look like he was peeing. :rolleyes::rolleyes: It was made in the late 19th century & according to one of my reference books does have "numerous female counterparts in collections such as the Musee International de la Parfumerie in Grasse France & the Musee de la Perfumerie Fragonard Paris / Grasse France". Also according to my reference (The Perfume Atomizer An Object with Atmosphere by Tirza True Latimer) "the French experts attribute the pissers' origins to Germany, whereas German authorities cite France as the provenance." In other words, no one wants to take credit for them & quite frankly I can't say that I blame them. ;):playful::playful::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:[/QUOTE]
