porringer

Porringer with two handles. Decorated in reddish brown, blue and green on a cream ground. Around the edge of the centrefield are roughly drawn triangular shapes formed of brown lines directed towards the centre spaced at intervals round the porringer, resting on a curved shape infilled with brown and either blue or green lines. These leave a star shape in cream at the centre. The porringer has a border of two concentric brown lines between which are sets of brown blue and green overlapping chevrons and other motifs, crudely drawn, spaced at intervals all the way round. -
