Welcome to TNet from Texas Mike.. I was able to research it and it is a pewter porringer cup used for wine tasting. I wasn’t able to find out who is engraved on center. Look for any words imprinted that could leave a clue. Thanks

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Mike! Take a look at Forum:Maryland for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

2nd - I believe HuntH2002 is right on target. Can you provide us with the "words" on it?

The words on the coin match the porringer. You guys are awesome.
Thanks

I picked this up at a bag sale at my local second hand shop. $5 for the whole bag.
