Porringer

Paul Revere Jr.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A shiny, silver-colored metal bowl with a rounded body and a handle on one side. The bowl is positioned at an angle with the opening facing the left side. The handle extends from the right side of the bowl and features an ornate, floral design. The bowl's surface exhibits a subtle sheen and appears to be made of a reflective material, likely metal. The background is a plain gray color with a subtle shadow cast by the bowl. The bowl seems to be a porringer, a type of small, one-handled cup or bowl. The porringer was made by Paul Revere Jr.
