Authentic 19th century ironstone soup tureen. The glazing is in vintage condition with a few cracks that don't go thru the thickness of the cover so their in the glazing and not the ceramic . There is some cracking wear underneath the top handle but this does not go thru to the other side so its not a old repair. Lots of french vintage charm with the decorative beautiful pumpkin shape for the handle on the cover and the impression of a acanthus leaf design for the handles. Just great vintage condition beautiful for the experienced collector or your first. Functional for use or just to look at. There is the markings on the bottom which reads DIJON-Sarregumines and an impression marking of number 3 Don't you love how functional they are and how we can also use them as a tablescape?
