Brief Description:

This is a vintage ceramic tureen styled in the shape of a head of cabbage, complete with finely sculpted veining and leaf texture. The lid is crowned with a round, cabbage-like finial, and the sides feature sculpted garlic bulb or root vegetable handles, adding to the rustic charm.
• Material: Glazed white ceramic with a soft, pearlescent sheen that enhances the detailing.
• Design: Highly realistic, with layers of cabbage leaves overlapping to form the body and lid.
• Function: Likely used as a soup tureen or decorative covered dish, perfect for farmhouse, cottagecore, or French country interiors.

It’s a delightful blend of form and function—both playful and refined. See less
