Porringer 1788 - 1820

Richard Lee’s “Porringer” is a small, silver-plated bowl crafted between 1788 and 1820. The bowl’s simple, circular form is accented by an ornate handle, featuring a delicate, interlacing design. This piece is a prime example of 18th-century American silversmithing, showcasing Lee's skill in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing objects. It can be viewed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
