French Barbotine Style Tureen with Pear Finial
This vintage tureen is a charming nod to the classic French Barbotine tradition—ceramics celebrated in the 19th century for their rich glazes, sculpted motifs, and vivid hand-painted details. Once the pride of dining rooms and parlors across France, Barbotine pieces were considered both functional serveware and decorative art, often displayed as centerpieces.
With its floral motifs, scalloped edges, and a sculpted pear finial, this tureen captures that same spirit—bringing the warmth of a country kitchen together with the artistry of a bygone era.
Dimensions: 27 cm long x 17 cm wide, 20 cm tall.
Ceramic with hand-painted floral motifs in vibrant colors.
Sculpted pear and leaf detail on the lid.
Footed base and scroll handles for a graceful silhouette.
Vintage piece in homage to 19th-century French Barbotine, valued for its decorative and collectible appeal.
Why we love this…
“Both charming and functional, vintage pieces can add just the right authentic French touch to your kitchen or home”.
