porringer

Porringer decorated in reddish brown, blue and green on a cream ground. In the centre, surrounded by a circular brown line, is a spray of three blue-petalled flowers on brown stems , the ends of which extend beyond the circle. The porringer has a border of two concentric blue lines between which are sets of brown and blue cross-hatching and roughly drawn green chevrons, and pairs of square blocks of brown, spaced at intervals all the way round.
