Note : The word "porringer" is a derivation of "porridge",

and represent rather bulbous vessels with curved sides,

It differs from a "caudle cup", in that a caudle cup is straight sided,

and usually for giving broth to the invalids and women convalescent after childbirth.

one handle with silver solder reinforcement to the upper attachment
