Large French Gothic Revival Glazed Tureen
Large French Gothic Revival Glazed Tureen
A remarkable French glazed tureen in the Gothic Revival style — a true conversation piece. Its sculpted side handles recall the fantastical gargoyles of medieval Paris, while the richly decorated lid with scrolling acanthus motifs gives it a presence that is both dramatic and refined.
Dimensions: 20 cm in diameter, 32 cm across the handles, 28 cm tall.
Deep brown glaze with subtle tonal variations.
Ornamental lid with acanthus scrollwork and finial.
Side handles modeled as mythical creatures.
Likely late 19th century, Gothic Revival French.
This piece moves easily from functional tableware to decorative centerpiece. It is ideal for autumn, when its deep glaze and sculptural form lend warmth and richness to the table. Use it as a serving tureen at feasts, or style it as a centerpiece — filled with seasonal fruit, gourds, or flowers. Wherever it is placed, it will not go unnoticed.
Why we love this…
“Both charming and functional, vintage pieces can add just the right authentic French touch to your kitchen or home”.
