19th Century Faience Soup Tureen, Keller & Guérin Style, Lunéville

$1.860,00

This charming French soup tureen is a delightful example of traditional hand-painted faience pottery, reminiscent of the production by Keller & Guérin at the Lunéville manufactory. Known for their colorful and joyful tableware in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Keller & Guérin created vibrant pieces that brought life and elegance to the table, and this piece clearly reflects that spirit.

The tureen features a generous, rounded shape, beautifully adorned with lively hand-painted floral motifs in vivid shades of red, pink, green, and blue. The matching lid is crowned with a finial, also richly decorated, that harmonizes perfectly with the design. Two delicately shaped handles complete the elegant silhouette, combining functionality and aesthetic appeal.

The fine brushwork, the bold yet cheerful palette, and the slightly creamy glaze all point toward the craftsmanship typical of Lunéville faience. The interior remains clean and practical for use.

Please note that the piece presents a fine hairline crack, visible in the detailed photos. This minor imperfection does not affect the structural integrity and adds to the authentic charm of antique ceramics. Minor glaze imperfections and slight craquelure are consistent with its age.

This soup tureen would make a wonderful centerpiece for a rustic or country-style dining room, a collector’s treasure, or a colorful accent in any kitchen setting.
