A green-glazed creamware model of a cradle late 18th century, modelled with woven rush decoration to the exterior, the hood with an incised diamond design, raised on two rockers, a little wear, 14cm long.
Models of empty cradles of this kind were often given as wedding gifts, hinting that the newly weds were expected to fill it in due course.
