porringer
Small handled bowl
A porringer is a small, shallow bowl with a flat handle, traditionally used for eating soft foods like porridge or soup.
Common in the 17th and 18th centuries, porringers were typically made of pewter, silver, or ceramic.
The form survives mainly as antiques and in children's dishware: a silver porringer from colonial America.
