Scope note:

Small unspouted cups with two vertical handles and usually a cover with a finial used to drink caudle; especially popular in the late 17th and the 18th centuries and typically made of silver. Formerly known as posset pots or in England as porringers. For similar forms having a spout, use "spout cups."
