"Spittoon"
A spittoon (or spitoon) is an article of furniture made for spitting into, especially by users of chewing tobacco. It is also known as a cuspidor, although that term is also used for a type of spitting sink used in dentistry. Cuspidors are still manufactured today, and commonly seen in fitness centers and gyms adjacent to a drinking fountain.
Not sure why this came to mind, it is a nice evocative word though.
