For your consideration... This superb French porcelain tureen from the later 19th century, hand-decorated with stylized flowers and gilding in that wonderful Old Paris porcelain style we are often hard-pressed to find, especially in such a magnificent size and distinctive form.
Description
A beautiful marriage of design periods, this piece gives a graceful nod to earlier Rococo traditions with its stylized handles, while the artichoke finial crowns a refined Neoclassical body that sits elegantly upon a solid foot.
We absolutely adore the aged patina and gentle gilt rub of this exceptional piece, discovered during our annual winter buying trip to Paris. The porcelain remains in fine fettle and stands ready to serve both as a stunning decorative statement and a functional serving piece for your most memorable occasions.

Unmarked, as Old Paris porcelain often is, this piece exemplifies the sophisticated unmarked wares that emerged from the numerous porcelain manufactories operating in and around Paris during this golden period of French ceramic production.
