porringer

Porringer with two handles, decorated in brown, blue and green on a cream ground. Four small brown dots at the centre. Around the edge of the hollow of the porringer are sets of lines in the three colours parallel to the edge shortening towards the centre spaced at intervals round the porringer. Between each group of three such motifs is a floral shape in brown. Around the edge two concentric brown lines form a border between which are sets of brown, blue and green outward-pointing dentate motifs.

Collection Information

These objects are only a part of our collections, of which there are more than 350,000 objects. This information comes from our collections database. Some of this is incomplete and there may be errors. This part of the website is also still under construction, so there may be some fields repeated or incorrectly formatted information.

The database sometimes uses language taken from historical documents to help research, which may now appear outdated and even offensive. The database also includes information on objects that are considered secret or sacred by some communities.
