I suddenly recognised this description -- this is essentially a pap boat -- used
in the 18th and 19th centuries for feeding babies with pap (flour and water or
bread and water or milk).  See Valerie Fildes, 'Bottles, Breasts and Babies'.  I
also have pictures in a small book on 'The Victorian Chemist and Druggist' in
the Shire museum series.

Isn't interesting that this design has resurfaced?  I wonder what the history of
the Indain design is?
