Victorian pottery hot water bottle from the St Albans Museums teaching collection. This was probably filled with hot water by the kitchen maid. This was then taken upstairs by a housemaid and placed at the end of a bed to warm it up. The Prime Minister, Gladstone, used to fill his hot water bottle with tea so that if he wanted a drink in the middle of the night he could have one with out having to wake his servants.
