SC - Porridger? (NOT OOP)

[Susan Fox-Davis]

Funny you should ask.  A potter friend of mine who is instigating a pottery
guild just sent me the URL
http://nautarch.tamu.edu/PROJECTS/PR-project/border/border2.html
This page will show you  porringers, pipkins and chamber pots depicted in a
book,
PEARCE, J. 1992.   Post-Medieval Pottery in London, 1500-1700: Border Wares.
HMSO, London.

Porringers seem to be eating vessels, pipkins were used for cooking.  You
probably already know what the chamber pot was for.
