A lovely simply styled 19th century soup or vegetable tureen with an
unusual Biedermeier-style shape and knob design. Simple and
elegant, this tureen measures 11 1/2" to the top of the finial x 11 1/2"
from bail-handle to handle. The body is decorated with five simple
incised lines (which don't show well in the photos). The top is
almost tagine looking with its tall sloped design. There is a
simple beaded line at the edge of the top and another near the top of
the hill on the way to the simple finial. The foot echoes the
slope of the top. The bail-handles display a functional
simplicity. Very good condition with a small bit of waviness to
the edge of the lid. Soft grey patina is excellent. The
touch mark was heavily struck but some of the identifying
characteristics have been worn down with centuries of polishing.
Flemish, attributed to Brussels pewterer C. Clements. Circa 1820. (#4323) $450 |
