The round bowl features an inset rim and a gracefully applied, pierced handle adorned with a scrolling motif. Historically, such shallow bowls with a single, flat handle were known interchangeably as bleeding bowls or porringers on both sides of the Atlantic. They were used for measuring and serving food, with pewter versions also widely used. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The bowl's historical significance is underscored by its inscription: “The Gift of In(o) [John] Allanson to His Grandson Tho(s) Simpson, Jan(y) 21, 1800,” alongside the engraved initials “JA” on the handle. This elegant dedication not only reflects the important role it served but also its enduring legacy as a treasured family heirloom. Additionally, this porringer was a part of the prestigious Red McCombs collection, which has been highly publicized and studied. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 3\/4\" high x 4 1\/2\" wide x 6 3\/4\" deep \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Provenance:\u003cbr\u003e MSR, New Orleans\u003cbr\u003e Red McCombs Collection, Texas\u003cbr\u003e MSR, New Orleans","brand":"MSR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50274952216866,"sku":"31-9234","price":5900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/6710\/0706\/files\/31-9234_1.png?v=1756229573","url":"https:\/\/banksyarts.com\/products\/georgian-silver-porringer","provider":"The Louvre of America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
