A small bowl or cup with or without a lid and a single or pair of flat handles, set horizontally, and traditionally was a bowl from which children were fed. The term is derived from the French 'potager', a vessel for pottage or stew. Porringers were made throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, in silver, pewter and delftware, and revived in the late 19th century. In America the term is used to describe a shallow, one-handled dish used for blood-letting.
