Antique Feeding Cup Royal Winton

Invalid feeding cup, also known as a pap feeder or hospital cup. These cups were used to feed liquids and broth to individuals who were too weak or ill to feed themselves, including bedridden patients and infants. They were popular in the Victorian era and continued to be used through the early 20th century, including during World War I. The spout allowed patients to drink without spilling, similar to a modern drinking straw. They were used in both homes and hospitals. No chips or cracks. See our other ads.
