It was modelled as a comfortable pleasure ride for one passenger and was propelled by a skater on the ice. They were invariably made of wood and always painted on the outside, a feature found again on the Delftware examples made for amusement. Delftware sleighs are more commonly found in blue and white and sometimes included a smaller ice-skating man pushing the sleigh. Another Delft doré example of this model in a private collection is illustrated by J.
