The image shows a silver porringer by Samuel Melville. The object is round and made of metal, with a handle at the top. The handle is shaped like a wide teardrop with a hole at the top center and an engraving of a figure and words; it attaches to the bowl-shaped body with a narrower neck. The body has a wide, shallow bowl with a circular depression in the center and a slightly raised lip around the edge. The metal is scratched and marked with dark spots. The background is white.
