In the Middle Ages, aristocrats in Europe dealt with ‘sadness’ in a special way. Accordingly, when the toilets did not appear, they used ceramic pots named Bourdaloue.
For human life today, toilets are extremely popular to serve the daily needs of each individual. However, under the Middle Ages, the aristocrats in Europe had a unique way of dealing with “sadness” in the context of not having toilets in the house. Specifically, hundreds of years ago, the aristocracy in some European countries used a ceramic vase named Bourdaloue when needed to go to the toilet. The Bourdaloue ceramic vase is designed with an oval shape. In addition to ceramic, it is also made of porcelain. Bourdaloue vases are sold in ceramic shops. Customers of the aristocracy often bought a few for home use. Accordingly, the Bourdaloue urns are placed in several rooms, including bedrooms for aristocrats to use at times of day. Unlike men, female aristocrats in Europe often wore spread-out dresses. Therefore, the noblewoman can use a skirt to hide the Bourdaloue vase inside while going to the toilet without losing her aesthetics. After use, the servant will take the Bourdaloue bottle to waste and clean it before placing it back in place. Thanks to the Bourdaloue vase, the aristocracy in ancient Europe was able to handle “sadness” in its own way. Later, the Bourdaloue vase no longer prevailed and gradually disappeared from society when the sanitary ware was invented.
