Miniature porringer 1684 - 1685

This miniature porringer, created by George Manjoy in 1684-1685, is a small, silver cup with two handles. The porringer's surface exhibits a hammered texture, a technique known as "repoussé." This technique gives the piece a textured and visually appealing surface, emphasizing the craftsmanship of the silverwork. The piece, currently located in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is a fine example of 17th-century silver craftsmanship, showcasing a high level of artistry and attention to detail.
