L., Dr 1928 1928 1928-12-07 bequeathed 1793 1793 dated 1793 Label text from the exhibition ‘Feast and Fast: The Art of Food in Europe, 1500–1800’, on display at The Fitzwilliam Museum from 26 November 2019 until 31 August 2020: Porringers are small bowls for eating porridge or gruel, often used to feed the sick or elderly. They usually have one or two handles and were made in a range of materials. This Dutch Delftware example is unusual because it also has a short spout and cover. This suggests that it may have been made to serve posset, a comforting beverage made from hot cream frothed up with egg yolk, alcohol, sugar, and spices. A common remedy for the sick in early modern Europe, posset was served from pots with long spouts to suck out the alcohol, two handles to ensure a steady grip, and a cover to keep the contents warm. reference term-107764 adlib-term-107764 0d6ecfb5-e150-385d-8b76-979bcf2adc8c 1790s reference term-116978 adlib-term-116978 92fb81a3-a19f-3b12-9dfa-af13739f0b10 literal United Provinces of the Netherlands United Provinces of the Netherlands country Makkum reference term-39575 adlib-term-39575 cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4ab tin-glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Depth cm 15.2 Height cm 12.1 Width cm 16.5 reference media-41632 adlib-media-41632 7ec17e8b-6820-35a3-85a5-8246a55cf23a jpeg aa/aa9/C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583010611 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583010611 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583010611 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583010611 1 image 0 media image reference media-41633 adlib-media-41633 4e1015bb-f9bf-3c00-b949-c4addef5d464 jpeg aa/aa9/C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583019067 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1742583019067 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1742583019067 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_2783_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1742583019067 1 image 1 media image reference term-90185 adlib-term-90185 3f875043-b10a-3d2d-9100-b380c7afcddd porringer reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover history note Mr Withers, Silver Street, Leicester, from whom purchased for £1.2s. 0d. at an unknown date by Dr J.W.L.
