A delightful vintage Italian majolica covered soup tureen sculpted as a lush cluster of ripened grapes entwined with generous vine leaves. Hand-painted in soft shades of ivory, blush, and verdant green, the tureen is crowned with a beautifully modeled vine branch finial that completes its naturalistic design.
Crafted in Nove, Italy—one of the country's most celebrated ceramic-making centers—this substantial piece showcases the rich tradition of hand-painted Italian majolica. The glossy glaze enhances the dimensional modeling of the grapes and leaves, while subtle brushwork lends warmth and character to every surface. Equally suited for serving soups, stews, or pasta at special gatherings, it also makes a striking decorative centerpiece.
Marked "Nove – Made in Italy" on the underside.
