This antique bronze glass female urinal is from the Ukraine and its most distinguish and unique characteristic is its smokey hue. You will see old urinals that over time and exposure to UV turn to a soothing lavender color due to the magnesium in their glass formula, but that is not the case here. This piece definitely had a coloring oxide added to create its unusual aura before it was blown into existence. This piece was created by a master craftsman and the attention to detail is impressive. Notice the controlled 90 degree turn in the throat and the asymmetrical shape of the opening. What is beautiful about theses old pieces is they reflect the morphology they are designed to accommodate and the female form is so much more complicated and intricate than its male counterpart. This piece is in excellent condition and I am honored to present it to you.
