A
chamber pot (also a , a
jerry, a guzunder, a
po (possibly from ), a
potty pot, a
potty, or a
thunder pot) is a bowl-shaped container with a handle, and often a lid, kept in the bedroom under a bed or in the cabinet of a
nightstand and generally used as a
toilet at night. In
Victorian times, some chamber pots would be built into a
cabinet with a closeable cover.
