Vintage French Pottery Tureen - Green Glazed Stoneware - Pedestal Style with Fruit and Leaf Handle on Lid
In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. Coco Chanel
{HISTORY}
Oh those French designers. They always know how to make the most stylish things! Classic, elegant and timeless in spirit and shape, this pretty green tureen is both a colorful statement piece and a useful helper in the kitchen.
The color of lime rind, this tureen is double glazed, both on the inside and outside, which suggests that it most likely started out in life as a colorful food server. A chippy interior rim prevents such service now, but that doesn't mean that this charmer is resigned to sit decoratively on a shelf. Fill it with flowers for your table centerpiece, incorporate it into your holiday decor or use it as storage for non-food items that need to be tucked out of sight. This green treasure is here to help make your life effortlessly easy.
Featuring a pretty fruit and leaf knob on the lid, the tureen is unmarked as to maker and manufacturer, but its classic style and decorative lid suggest French origin as these were traditional details of most antique and vintage French soup tureens.
