What is it Solution. Item from a Korben-Gondorf Strassi

When Magda saw this at the straussi for Wiengut Freiherr von Schleinitz in Korben-Gondolf, she said that it was already a bit old fashion when she was a kid, but she did remember using such an item.

This is a hot water bottle. Although the usage was a bit different than the way that hot water bottles are used today. Water was heated and poured into the copper container. But because the copper would get so hot, it was difficult to handle and you could just leave it in the bed. That is were the loop at the top came into play. A stick or a hook could be inserted into the loop to carry the bottle to the beds. The bottle was then run under the covers of each bed to heat them up allowing people to go to sleep in a warm bed.
