This artifact is a silver porridger, which was used to serve porridge. This has been passed down for five generations. The porridger was originally made to sell in the Safford’s jewelry shop, which my family used to own in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It is undated however research shows that it was likely created in 1917. This is important because it is made out of Towle silver, which was made in the factory in Newburyport, where my family worked for many generations. They have lived in Massachusetts for over 335 years after moving there from Wales. When my aunt gave this to me, she had it engraved with my name and December 25, 2011, the date she gave it to me.
