Artifact History

Credit Line/Dedication	Gift of Mrs. F. L. Stevens in Memory of Mr. Stevens
Reproduction	yes, Evidence of machine turning on the bottom indicates distinct possibility of being a reproduction. --Acc. card, n.d. This artifact is associated with 34.1.90 and 34.1.91 which are miniature porringers probably acquired through the tourist economy in Western Europe during both world wars. The two miniatures are probably souvenirs. This porringer may also have been a souvenir, though its larger size allows for utilitarian function. --A. Hawkins 2/98
