Jones Ware for the ladies, USA, circa 1950's.

Well the definition says that the urinal is strictly a man's domain, but the designers at The Jones Metal Products Co, of West Lafayette, Ohio might just disagree.  This beauty is designed with the female anatomy in mind and in the "Jones" tradition all manner of detail is strictly adhered too.  As I have said in other posts, when the label is intact it makes the urinal more collectible and this piece is in near mint condition.  The next post will display the male counterpart to this one and both have the white with the deep ultramarine blue trim around the opening, the handle and bottom trim.  Theses models are ground flush all around and the enameling is thick and smooth.  Easy on the eyes and very pleasant to the touch.  These are aesthetic concerns important to women and recognized as important design considerations by Jones.
