Ironstone soup tureen

Elegant antique soup tureen in Terre de Fer earthenware, stamped FF Texonne, dating from the late 19th century. This beautiful serving piece is charming with its refined decoration of birds and delicately printed floral motifs in the characteristic blue-grey tones of Terre de Fer productions from that era. Its elegant and generous silhouette, resting on a pedestal, is enhanced by a lid topped with a charming ring handle. Very decorative, this soup tureen will add an authentic and timeless touch to a chic country table, an old kitchen, or an interior styled as a brocante, family home, or French countryside. The earthenware shows a lovely patina of time with a slight network of natural crazing, giving it all its charm and authenticity. The overall condition is good for its age. A very pretty antique piece to use as decoration, a centrepiece, or in a collection of Terre de Fer earthenware.
