Decorated with fluid blue, green, and terracotta floral motifs on a creamy white glaze, it embodies the elegance and vitality of Italy’s long ceramic heritage. Each brushstroke reveals the hand of the artisan, making this piece not only a functional vessel but a work of decorative art.

The tureen features a beautifully scalloped form with an integrated base plate, ornate handles, and a matching domed lid topped with a finial. The design is adorned with hand-painted floral and foliate motifs in cobalt blue, emerald green, and terracotta red, all set against a creamy white glaze. The brushwork is expressive and fluid, capturing the lively, painterly quality typical of mid-20th-century Italian majolica.

Minor old chips to the glaze blend harmoniously with the piece’s age and patina, adding to its authentic vintage character. Despite these small imperfections, the tureen remains an impressive decorative and functional centerpiece—perfect for display in a French country kitchen, Tuscan-inspired interior, or as part of a European ceramic collection.
