    I just realized what the vase-like thing on the left is and now I am feeling slightly nauseous thinking about it.

    Wild times, and only just a hundred years ago…

      Now I’m intrigued. It is the waiter’s carafe, isn’t it? But if I’m right, what’s wild about it? So I must be wrong?

        It’s a spittoon.

        People used to chew tobacco and then occasionally spit into these.

        So this would be filled with a brown soup of saliva with soaked tobacco remains distributed in it.
