Notes
Ceramic feeding bottles were gradually replaced by glass ones, though it was not till the middle of the 19th century that the latter were within reach of all families. Various shapes were available, the gourd shape of which these are three examples being the most common (#21, 23 and Acme Nursing Bottle).

Gift of Miss Alice Wright, 1966.
