A small-scale vintage washboard, commonly referred to as a lingerie or hosiery washboard, featuring a fluted glass scrubbing surface. The clear glass panel is set within a light-coloured wooden frame and features vertically oriented spiral or twisted ribbing. The frame construction consists of two square-cut side supports that extend downwards to form legs. The top of the frame is finished with a decorative horizontal rail that includes turned detailing and terminates in small finials at either end. The wooden components are joined using grooved channels to house the glass insert. A small remnant of a white paper label is present on the upper left rail, and there are faint, illegible dark marks on the top crossbar. No manufacturer names, model numbers, or patent marks are clearly visible on the item.
