Adapted from an American Porringer ca 1800 by Robert Evans (1768–1812) on view at Metropolitan Museum of Art New York
A porringer is a shallow bowl, between 4 and 6 inches (100 to 150mm) in diameter, and 1½ to 3 (40 to 80mm) deep; the form originated in the medieval period in Europe and was made in wood, ceramic, pewter, cast iron and and silver. They had flat, horizontal handles.
The precise purpose of porringers, or ecuelles, as they are known in France, is in dispute; but it is thought that they were used to hold broth or gruel
This beautiful reproduction is Silver plated and in very good vintage condition.
Please see photos for small dents and scratches from normal use.
