Description

A porcelain receptacle to spit into of colored floral design with a medium sized hole at the surface and an oval opening at the side serving as pathway for the substance. Noticeably, the oval pathway is likened to an open mouth because slanted eyes are carved on top of it. this piece becomes an epitome of polite illustrado lifestyle.

This item is part of Museo de La Salle’s Santos Joven Panlilio collection which boasts of antique turn-of the-century furniture and decorative furnishings from the family’s ancestral home in Bacolor, Pampanga. Some pieces were collected through the years by art connoisseur, antique collector and interior designer Jose Ma. Ricardo Panlilio, the museum’s founding director.
