This 18th-century posset pot, made of tin-glazed earthenware, is an example of Delftware. This type of pottery, named for the Dutch city of Delft, was highly sought after in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is characterized by its blue and white palette, though this pot features a unique, multi-colored floral design in red, green, and blue, a style known as "kraakporselein". The piece is crafted with a rounded body, a spout, and a distinctive handle, demonstrating a distinctive design for holding and pouring beverages. It is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.

Some locate the origins of modern-day eggnog in the posset, a hot drink combining milk and wine or beer. This drink bridged alcohol’s distinct uses within curative and celebratory contexts. From the 1400s possets were taken as health aids, and by the 1700s recipes including medicinal waters still flourished. But the gradual incorporation of luxury ingredients such as eggs, sugar, spices, and citrus juice, signaled the posset’s transition from medicinal to refined social realms during this period.
