Pottery/spittoon ID needed

[Woodland Detectors]

This spittoon has been around for a while being traced back to KX TN. 100+ years. Apparently this spittoon sat under a Prominent Judges desk for spitting tobacco. I guess? It was given to Maggies mother who works for the Judges in TN. The opposite side of the photo with the man is a woman. What I'd like to find out is,
1. The Age
2. Who made the piece.


Thanks! HHHH

Mojjaxx with the killer ID. HOW did you find it?

And, Upon reading threads about "spittoons" I didn't realize that they made ladies spittoon's for the female tobacco chewers!
