Hand-painted with vibrant floral designs, including striking peonies, this piece is truly a celebration of spring. Its elegant shape is accentuated by beautifully crafted handles, adding to its refined aesthetic.

The tureen’s most captivating feature is the intricate apple motif on the lid, skilfully sculpted to serve as a functional and decorative knob. This unique detail is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the Lunéville faïence factory, one of France’s most beloved porcelain makers. The company, founded in 1730, became renowned for its “Demi-Porcelain,” a durable, yet artistic form of earthenware introduced in the late 19th century. The mark on this piece, used since 1892, points to early 20th-century production, making it a wonderful collector’s item.

Whether for display or functional use, this tureen is sure to impress with its timeless elegance and artistry.
