Edward Winslow Early 18th Century Rare Silver Porringer

About the Item

Edward Winslow rare silver porringer from the early 18th century. It measures 7 1/2'' in depth including the handle by 5 1/8'' in width by 1 7/8'' in height, weighs 7.8 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks as shown. The handle is adorned with the monogram M S E and the piece shows rare 18th century repairs at the base. This porringer belonged to the Wunsch Americana Foundation, a known force in American decorative arts, who donated pieces to many museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. This specific porringer was previously on loan at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and still bears the accession number as shown. Edward Winslow (1669-1753) was a celebrated American silversmith. Some of his pieces are in the permanent collections of prestigious museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. According to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in its catalogue on Early American Silver, it states that Winslow's chocolate pot is "one of the most fashionable items produced in eighteenth century Boston (...) Edward Winslow’s lineage, military career, and government service have earned him more scholarly attention than is customarily accorded a colonial silversmith. He counted among his patrons such prominent New Englanders as Judge Samuel Sewall and Harvard tutor Henry Flynt, and he was sufficiently wealthy to have his portrait painted in 1730 by John Smibert."
