Nuestra Señora de Atocha (1622)
circa 1620
A fine-grade, two-handled porringer comes from the wreck of the 1622 galleon Nuestra Señora de Atocha. The porringer functioned as somewhere between a cup and a bowl. The thick, tin-based enamel has a mixed blue/gray marbled pattern, and it is still lustrous despite the centuries underwater. The porringer is 5.1 centimeters high and 16.2 centimeters across the handles.
