An antique French pewter porringer serving dish, bowl or wine tasting cup. A porringer was a small, shallow bowl with a handle, used from the medieval period through the 18th century for eating foods like porridge, soup, or stew. They were typically made from materials like pewter, silver, or wood. As an alternative use, the Science Museum have an example they describe as a Pewter bleeding bowl, 18th or 19th century.
The piece we have for sale here is stamped ‘ETAIN DECORATIVE’ on base. The French word ‘étain’ means tin (the metal). It can refer to the pure element or to pewter, which is an alloy primarily made of tin. In this example, the porringer is made from pewter.

An antique, hand-carved Indo Persian wooden fruit bowl, also known as a parat. This stunning piece is made from highly tactile polished hardwood, showcasing both beauty and craftsmanship. It would make an impressive statement as a centerpiece on any dining table. While it is ideal for use as a fruit bowl, its historical significance is equally remarkable.
Parats were originally employed in the preparation of the dough used to make an array of delicious traditional Indian breads, including chapatis, rotis, naans, and parathas. To create this dough, one would add flour, water, and a pinch of salt, knead until it forms a smooth ball, and allow it to rest. This simple yet vital process forms the foundation of the traditional Indian menu, adding richness to its cultural heritage.
