Description from the seller
Attention: due to customs regulations we can only ship inside the European Union. Please ensure you have a valid EU shipping address before placing a bid.
Pewter porringer with a deep rounded bowl and twin leaf-shaped handles. A crowned Tudor Rose mark with maker's initials MF on the base.
-> -> Porringers were widely used for serving and consuming food such as porridge, broth, stews, and other soft dishes. Their twin handles made them easy to hold when the contents were hot.
Diameter: ± 143 mm (excluding handles)
Length: ± 230 mm
Height: ± 48,7 mm
Good solid condition, some minimal pressure cracks, nice patina. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. See images.
Certificate of Authenticity available upon request (pdf-format).
-> The porringer was a familiar household vessel in Europe from the late medieval period into the 18th century and beyond. It was used for both preparation and dining, especially for liquid or semi-liquid foods. Pewter examples were especially popular because they were more affordable than silver, yet still durable and attractive for domestic use.
Pewter tableware occupied an important place in everyday life before the widespread adoption of modern ceramics and industrial metal wares. Objects such as this porringer reflect the practical character of historic domestic interiors, where functional utensils were often simply made but thoughtfully designed for repeated daily use.
