Found this on a ride today on some cheeky singletrack...

Any thought.. about 100mm wide and hemispherical in the middle.

I reckon it's a Prattware pot.

The pictorial lids are very collectable.

@richpips

I reckon it is as well with that clue. Back to search for lid Friday :-)))

I could retire ๐Ÿ™‚

I found a old Bovril jar and a bottle "Sanizol" with Poisonous embossed ๐Ÿ™‚

Actually it looks like one of those dishes used in laboratories for collecting samples of foreskins from men who have died from sexually transmitted diseases !!!

Nice collection ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

@blue-tone

Funny you should say that "Sanizol" I found out is (was) used in that area of medicine.
