This type of tourist ware was first available in the late 19th Century. I am not sure who made this, as it is unmarked by the manufacturer, but is marked Foreign and was probably made in Germany.  It probably dates to the 1930s judging from the style of the toilet and fixings used for the lid. The design was reproduced many times but this is an early version.
