Porringer

Samuel Edwards

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Silver porringer with two handles. The body of the porringer is rounded and short. The lip is slightly everted. The two handles are attached on either side and are ornamental, with a leaf or acanthus design. The handles extend outward and slightly upward from the bowl. The surface appears to have a brushed finish and there are areas where the surface is discolored and worn. The background is gray with a slight shadow beneath the porringer. The work is by Samuel Edwards.
