The matching underplate indicates a higher-end set — cheaper chamber pots often didn’t have one.

Historically, these were used in bedrooms before indoor plumbing became common. The pot would sit in a washstand cabinet or under a bed, and the plate underneath helped catch any spills or drips. The handles made it easier to carry and empty.
Victorian Era (1850–1900): Most likely, given the shape and relief decoration. The floral relief decoration was especially popular in the late 19th century — many English and European potteries produced similar ornate patterns. The double handles and rounded body are also consistent with Victorian and Edwardian chamber pots (mid-1800s to early 1900s).
Could also be early 20th century (1900–1930) since chamber pots were still common before indoor plumbing became universal.
