Porringer c. 1725

Moody Russell’s "Porringer" (c. 1725) is a small silver dish with a delicate handle. The porringer, crafted in the mid-18th century, demonstrates the craftsmanship of American silversmiths of the time. The piece's simplicity and elegance make it a testament to the enduring appeal of functional art. "Porringer" is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
