Sunderland Lustre Chamberpot c1830 with strap handles and a frog climbing up the inside.

(The frog has a small hole in his mouth - perhaps for placement of a scented tallow / incense stick?)

At the bottom of the pot is a man sitting crossed legged, hands raised in horror, with the verse "Keep me clean and use me well. And what I see I will not tell"

The verses on the outside of the pot read as follows

MARRIAGE
This pot is a Present sent.
Some mirth to make is only meant,
We hope the same you'll not refuse,
But keep it safe and oft it use.
When in it you want to P'ss,
Remember them who sent you this.

PRESENT
Dear lovely wife pray rise and P'ss
Take you that handle & I'll take this,
Let's use the Present that was sent
To make some mirth is only meant
So let it be as they have said
We'll laugh and P'ss and then to Bed.
