Georgie Porgie sugar bowl produced by Devonmoor Pottery of Devon, England, circa 1930. "Georgie Porgie" is a popular English language nursery rhyme. Its originally the lyrics were: Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, Kissed the girls and made them cry, When the girls came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away. These appeared in The Kentish Coronal (1841), where the rhyme was described as an "old ballad" with the name spelled "Georgy Peorgy". That version persisted through most of the 19th century and was later illustrated by Kate Greenaway in 1881. It was also quoted by Rudyard Kipling in the story named after it, published in 1891. This Georgie Porgie sugar bowl is a part of a Mother Goose teaset along with an Old Mother Hubbard creamer and Mother Goose teapot.
