The sculptural bird emerges from dramatically modeled cabbage leaves, carrots, corn, tomatoes and other produce, all glazed in a rich palette of leafy greens, creamy white, persimmon orange, yellow and soft pink.

The turkey and cabbage form a removable lid, revealing the serving bowl beneath. An original coordinating ceramic ladle completes the set, making the piece as functional for the table as it is decorative.

With its dimensional vegetables, glossy glaze and playful trompe-l'oeil modeling, the tureen recalls traditional European majolica and Italian vegetable ware. A wonderful Thanksgiving serving piece or centerpiece, but equally charming displayed year-round in a collected kitchen, dining room or butler's pantry.

Perfect for collectors of majolica, cabbage ware, trompe-l'oeil ceramics, vegetable pottery and vintage Thanksgiving décor.

Dimensions: 8.75" H × 9.5" W × 7" D.
Includes tureen, removable turkey-form lid and coordinating ceramic ladle. See less
