Vegetable dish/soup tureen Lunéville K&G, blue "onion" decoration, 1960-70.

A great classic of French tableware: this fine earthenware or ironstone vegetable dish from Lunéville features the famous "onion" or "Saxony" decor, which originated in Meissen in the 18th century and has become a staple of blue and white. Vintage from the 1960s-1970s. Dimensions: total height 18 cm, diameter 22 cm (dish alone 20 cm). Bamboo, peonies, and pomegranate flowers unfold on the dish and lid, bordered by a fine garland. Its leaf-shaped handles and pretty fruit knob, enhanced with sponge blue, give it a chic country charm. It will serve on the table as well as decorate a buffet or a china cabinet. Earthenware from Lunéville (Keller & Guérin), marked on the back "Lunéville K G – Traditions – Special grand feu – Unfading decor." To be picked up in Versailles, Saint Nom la Bretèche, or Issy-les-Moulineaux. Shipping possible. There is a chip on the edge of the dish near one handle, and small chips on the inner rim of the lid (invisible when closed). The decor is in very good condition and the colors are vibrant.
