French White Ironstone Tureen

France, 20th century

A classic French white ironstone tureen with a domed lid and sculpted side handles. The form is traditional—rounded body, flared pedestal foot, and clean profile—highlighting the quiet weight and smooth glaze characteristic of French ironstone.

These tureens were produced throughout the 20th century for everyday table use, valued for their durability and timeless silhouette. This example has a satisfying heft and the subtle glaze variations typical of ironstone fired at high temperatures.

A versatile serving piece that also works beautifully as a vessel for flowers, utensils, or as a sculptural element on open shelving.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. Light rim wear and minor glaze irregularities from production. No cracks or structural issues.

Dimensions: 7.5” x 9”
