Arnel’s Pottery was a ceramic manufacturing and mold-making company based in Beaverton, Oregon. Founded in 1953.

Arnel's Pottery was a ceramic company known for producing various pottery items, including decorative and functional pieces like chamber pots and pitcher/basin sets, often as ceramic molds for home crafters.

These specific styles of Arnel's chamber pots were commonly produced in the mid-1970s, with many pieces dated around 1976. Arnel's Pottery items are often sought after by collectors.

Chamber pots were essential sanitary items in homes before the widespread adoption of indoor plumbing, serving as portable toilets. They were typically made of ceramic, metal, or wood and were often kept in bedrooms for nighttime use. Their design varied greatly, from simple utilitarian vessels to elaborately decorated pieces that could be displayed as decorative objects.

This particular chamber pot, identified as an Arnel's Yellow Rose model from 1976, represents a later period for such items, as indoor plumbing became more common. However, they continued to be used in some households and also gained popularity as decorative collectibles or for nostalgic purposes. The three-piece design, including a splash cover, indicates a more refined version of the traditional chamber pot.
