This elegant pewter bowl with handle is inspired by an antique French original.

A bit of history:

A porringer is a shallow bowl; the form originated in the medieval period in Europe and was made in wood, ceramic, pewter, cast iron and silver. They had flat, horizontal handles.

Colonial porringers tended to have one handle, whereas European ones tended to have two handles on opposite sides, on which the owner's initials were sometimes engraved.

The beauty and interest lies of the porringer is in the handle. The variously pierced designs of the handles reflect much of the silver art of the times.
