192 - Glass Male Urinal

This is a glass male urinal. It features an elongated, cylindrical body with a flattened base, ensuring stable horizontal placement. The proximal end has a wide, flared inlet to facilitate use. The upper surface is embossed with the"BS 3215" marking. Additionally, a dual measurement scale is present, displaying graduated markings in millilitres (100–650 ml) and fluid ounces (4–30 fl oz) for accurate volume assessment. On the closed end, opposite the inlet, additional embossed markings are partially visible, with a distinguishable "5". This type of urinal was commonly utilised in healthcare environments throughout the early to mid-20th century before being superseded by lightweight, disposable plastic alternatives.
