Pap Boat c1830s

Unattributed Maker Unidentified Pattern Pap Boat c1830s

Maker: Unattributed Maker  Pattern: Unidentified Pattern

The maker and pattern, so far, remain unidentified, although we have seen feeding cups and infant bottles in the same or similar design.
Pap boats were used to feed pap to invalids or infants. Pap was made from flour or bread boiled in water and apparently an egg, dash of beer, rum or brandy might be added to provide extra sustenance! These idiosyncratic survivors of another age have become strongly collected today.
This boat has survived undamaged. The glaze is crazed and has taken up some light staining mainly inside and on the bottom.
There no backstamp, except a blue printed diamond.

Dimensions: 12.5 cm long 4 cm high to spout / 5 ins long 1.5 ins high to spout
