Posset pot with lid, England, 1701-1800
Used to drink a mixture called posset, this pot is made from tin-glazed earthenware. A popular remedy for colds, posset was made from hot milk curdled with ale or wine and could be thickened with breadcrumbs. Spices were also added. Posset pots generally have two handles and a spout through which the mixture can be sucked – although the mixture could be spooned out for those less able to feed them…
