Description / History:
Set of seven white porcelain pap boats with curved spouts. Pap boats are a type of invalid feeder generally used to feed the invalid or child pap: a mixture of soaked bread with meal and sugar, sometimes chewed by a nurse to get the right smooth consistancy.
Three have a floral decoration via the process of transfer printing. Transfer printing was developed in England in the mid–18th century and involves printing a pattern on a tissue via a copper plate and then transfering it onto the ceramic object.
