Can anyone help me track down this information (which I had
misremembered as being Ivor Noel Hume, but it isn't in Colonial
Artefacts or Martin's Hundred (going by the indices):

What I remember reading is ... that in the inventories of some early
settlement or settlements (?New England ?Plimouth Plantation), there
were lots of references to 'looking glasses', which was a slang term of
the time for chamber pots.

[The OED confirms the usage, with quotations from 1622, 1638 and 1709]

With best wishes to all,
