These small pottery dishes advertising the hotel's Turkish baths were just under 4½ inches in diameter and were manufactured by Wood & Sons Ltd of Burslem.
Called tip dishes by some collectors, they were widely used in the hotel and were probably left in strategic positions in the bars, bedrooms, and bathrooms to encourage patrons to show their appreciation of good service by leaving a tip.
