Every time I see this, I lose my appetite. Just to clarify, this was commonly used to hold phlegm and saliva in the past
Now there are many stores using these as containers for food, which is really disgusting! I just can't stand it!

Haha I imagine it’s similar to being served a delicious meal in a bedpan.

Thats a bowl. You grossed out because people might have spit in to bowls?

It’s the equivalent of eating out of a chamber pot. The double happiness/ducks mean that it was meant to be used on the wedding night

I don’t really understand. Is there a cultural context to this?

So this is the irl Salty Spitoon?

Some really obtuse people in the comments. Yes, it’s a bowl. But it was used for a specific thing, which OP is disgusted by. I mean, a trough is something you could technically eat food from, but you probably wouldn’t want to because of what you associate it with

As someone who has Chinese ancestry.

we’re Chinese spitoons ceramic? cuz I only know if metal ones, which is why they make noise and have the name given to them. idt a ceramic spitoon would make any noise, and thus make it just a jar… that people happen to spit in

I feel the same way when I see people using lab glassware (beakers, test tubes) for cocktails. Even if I know it’s clean, and only ever been used in a restaurant.
