Antique Charles II 1663 Sterling Silver Baby Porringer

The surface of this porringer bowl is plain and unembellished.

This silver baby porringer is fitted with two impressive C scroll handles.

The underside of this impressive 17th century piece is ornamented with the contemporary engraved initials ‘E.W’.

Note: After surviving the Great Fire of London the records at the London Assay office were destroyed by fire in 1681; their catalogues and documentation began again in 1697. Due to this unfortunate event we are unable to associate a maker to this porringer.
