| Model Sleigh Dutch, 1760-1770 The Victoria & Albert Museum |
Here’s an attractive, yet somewhat strange item. Made in Delft, Holland, somewhere between 1760 and 1770, it’s a model sleigh of tin-glazed earthenware which has been painted with enamel colors. The sleigh has been adorned with landscapes.
I imagine it’s meant to be purely decorative, but some sources indicate that such models were intended for use as vases. The underside is marked with a K and a plus sign.

It's actually a pipe holder! But a very decorative one!
