Pudding basin

A pudding basin is a bowl or vessel with thick walls and a pronounced rim to secure a cover during cooking, used to steam puddings. Typically made of glazed earthenware or tempered glass, this kitchen vessel may also be used as a mixing bowl.[1]

They have been manufactured by British potteries since at least the early 19th century, with well-known makers producing classic (the most famous of which being Cornishware striped earthenware) basins.[2]

Pudding basins are often associated with popular historic British dishes such as Christmas pudding, treacle sponge pudding or steak and kidney pudding.[3]
