Pewter Toy Porringer c. 1936

This is a drawing of a pewter toy porringer, a type of small bowl used for food, created by artist Fred Peterson in 1936. The drawing shows two views of the porringer: one from above and one from the side. The porringer has a handle decorated with an elaborate floral design, and the bowl itself has a simple, rounded shape. The drawing was likely created for a catalogue or exhibition, given its inclusion of dimensions and labeling. The porringer is a good example of traditional American folk art, as it is crafted from a simple material and has a functional purpose.
