Popular in the 17th century, posset was a hot beverage made of milk curdled with wine or other liquor. It was sometimes taken medicinially, but it was also consumed socially at parties. On the 6th of January 1668, Samuel Pepys is recorded as serving his guests posset, and afterwards they "went to dancing and singing again until two in the morning." See M. Archer, Delftware, the Tin-glazed Earthenware of the British Isles, Norwich, 1997, p. 261 for a further discussion of the form.
