Know before you buy
The tureen measures 10 inches in length and 8 inches in height, providing a generous capacity suitable for serving soup or stews at formal dinner gatherings.
Given the delicate nature of hand-painted Limoges porcelain, we recommend hand washing this piece to preserve the integrity of the floral pattern and the finish.
Yes, the domed lid is designed to fit securely, which helps maintain the temperature of your soup while adding a classic, elegant silhouette to your table setting.
The tureen features integrated side handles designed for stability. However, due to the weight of the porcelain and the contents, we recommend using both hands to ensure a secure grip when moving the piece.
To maintain the luster of the hand-painted floral design, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh detergents. A gentle soap and a soft cloth are sufficient for cleaning.
