A fantastic survivor from the early Charles II period. This good sized item is of typical style for a Restoration porringer with simple cast, figural handles and chased floral decoration.The interior is gilt (probably later). The condition is superb with neither damage nor repairs and a first class set of hallmarks for the period.
Pre-Restoration porringers are extremely rare and the early Charles II date of this example is a particularly exciting find.
