Know before you buy
The tureen has a capacity of approximately 67.6 ounces, which is roughly 2 liters. This size is well-suited for serving soups or stews to a small-to-medium-sized dinner party.
Yes. Because this piece features metallic gold detailing, it is not dishwasher safe. You should hand wash it gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent to preserve the finish.
No, this tureen is not microwave, oven, or freezer safe. It is designed primarily for elegant serving rather than cooking or reheating.
The tureen features a domed lid that fits securely, which helps retain heat for a reasonable amount of time while your meal is being served. However, it is not airtight, so it is best used for immediate service.
While the tureen is crafted from substantial fine porcelain, the side handles are designed to provide a steady grip for carrying. We recommend using both hands to support the base when moving it, especially when filled to capacity.
