Sold by Forget-Me-Not Antiques
Wonderful, museum quality, late 17th century Pilgrim period one-piece American burl maple hand hewn and carved porringer with a handle. Original untouched natural attic surface and patina. Ca. 1670-1700. Would have been used as an eating bowl, mortar, or cup. Unusual crooked handle suggests Native American. Super condition with just one old and very tight surface or stress line in the bowl that is not a crack and it does not go through. 9” long and the bowl is 3 3/4” diameter x 2” deep. Came out of an old CT collection. The shine in some of the photos is from the flash. Very dry natural surface.
