- Abstract
-
"Two figures face each other made of domestic utensils. A housemaid (left), very erect, has a wooden bucket for a body supported on a mop and a long-handled floor-polisher, and is also concocted of a broom, a dust-pan, a brush, and a hearth-brush, with a check duster, &c. A cook (right) seems to bow courteously towards the housemaid. She is made of a 'Flour' barrel supported on a large ladle and two-pronged fork; a covered pot with pot-hooks hanging from the handle, a rolling-pin (as right arm) to which a colander is attached. There are also a grid-iron (or save-all), a small saucepan, a salt-box, and dangling metal skewers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
