Bearing matching, authentic dual factory backstamps on their bases, this pair dates precisely between 1888 and 1896, encapsulating the luxurious artistry of late 19th-century Victorian dining.
Each tureen showcases Haviland’s elegant, heavy porcelain blank featuring soft, lobed paneling, indented cornering, and gently scalloped rims. The bodies are beautifully hand-decorated with flowing, organic trailing sprigs of wild pink and lavender daisies surrounded by delicate foliage. Elegant, sculptural loop handles on the bases and matching decorative finials on the lids are heavily accented in a rich, burnished gold gilt application, creating an opulent contrast against the bright white porcelain ground.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a complete, symmetrical pair of lidded serving vessels that bring instant curation and historical elegance to a formal holiday tablescape, sideboard presentation, or display cabinet.
