Summary
A small, orange, doll's house size hot water bottle. Embossed on a square rubber label on the front is text reading 'The Ronoleke Hot Water Bottle, British Made'. The funnel has an opening and it appears that the bottle was hollow inside, but the rubber has perished and now the inside sides have become fused together. The handle has become detached on one side.
