Porringer

Zachariah Brigden

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a silver porringer by Zachariah Brigden. The porringer is made of silver and has a rounded bowl shape. The bowl is shallow and has a slightly raised lip around the edge. A handle extends from one side, decorated with ornate scrollwork. The handle has a leaf-like design with curved lines and shapes. The porringer appears to have some signs of wear, with darker spots and marks on its surface. The background is a plain gray color, with a slight shadow underneath the porringer.
