Porringer (images above*)
Handmade by Peter Goebel. Historically inspired.
Although this is not a documented piece, every element in its design and construction is 18th-century-styled. Porringers like these were extremely popular in England up to the turn of the 18th century. They continued their popularity in America until about 1825. They are a near perfect vessel - just the right size to heat up a midnight snack, feed a baby, drink from the well, etc. Their uses are really endless. A re-enactor we know hangs his from his belt and uses it for drinking, cooking & eating! He suggestes lashing a green stick to the porringer to serve as a handle, giving you a long handle for cooking over the fire. This porringer also makes a very thoughtful gift to new parents - sure to become an heirloom someday! Tin lined. Dated: 18th century. Origin: English. Materials: copper, tin. Dimensions: 4 1/2" by 6" by 1 3/8" deep. 1 cup capacity.
*The porringer pictured was used as a prize in a shooting match and was accidentally shot. Goose Bay Workshops repaired the porringer - it is pictured before and after.
Porringer: $125.00
