I came across this potty in Desborough Heritage Centre, Northamptonshire. The curator there has written a short, but lovely, label that does a great job at explaining the object.
“With no toilet inside, chamber pots were used at night and emptied in the morning. They were kept under the bed, hence the name “guzunder”.
