French Empire Period Porcelain Tureen

A remarkable piece of porcelain form, this tureen has rare proportions and stands out on the table like a true work of art. Its lid is crowned with an artichoke-shaped fretel while the lip is punctuated with a frieze of golden ivy nested in an empire green scalloped garland. Its pedestal, also made of porcelain, is similarly decorated. The whole, unique, is in perfect condition.
