- This beautiful silver spittoon, that was part of the paraphernalia associated with the betel nut chewing habit, shows clear local Chinese influences and was most probably made by a local Chinese silversmith on Java for a Peranakan client. The body of compressed globular form beneath a flared trumpet rim is finely chased with oblong panels that alternate been plain and being chased with flowers and various birds against tooled backgrounds. The wide rim is finely engraved with more flowers against a tooled background. The spittoon is in fine condition and with ample signs of age and use.
