Vintage Set of French Ironstone Bowls

 Vintage French Porcelain Lion’s-Head Bowls — Set of 3

Approx. 3.5” tall x 5.5” wide

A classic set of French white porcelain lion’s-head bowls (bols tête de lion), marked Porcelaine Tradition – CNP France. These are the iconic French kitchen and bistro form—rounded body, pedestal foot, and applied lion mascarons—traditionally used for gratin dishes, baked onion soup, and individual portions.

The porcelain is bright and clean with a smooth glaze and subtle firing variations typical of mid-20th-century French production. All three pieces are in lovely vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear.

A timeless French kitchen staple—beautiful on open shelving, perfect for serving, or styled as vessels for herbs, berries, or even as petite catch-alls.
