The porringer is a traditional shallow bowl form dating to medieval Europe and widely used in Colonial America during the 17th and 18th centuries. Intended for broth, gruel, porridge and other soft foods, American porringers characteristically featured a single flat handle, often pierced with elaborate geometric or foliate decoration. By the 20th century, sterling examples were commonly produced as infant-feeding vessels, christening gifts and commemorative presentation pieces. The Webster Company was founded in 1878 by George K. Webster and became the Webster Company in 1903. Operating in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, the firm produced sterling silver flatware, hollowware, vanity articles, novelties and a limited range of silverplate. Webster became a subsidiary of Reed & Barton in 1950 while continuing to operate under its established name. CONDITION REPORT > As discovered, not cleaned or altered ~ Likely unintrusive tarnish, spotting, typical and minor elements relative to age, handling and materials, including light scratches and blemishes.
