Early 20th Century French Rococo Revival White Ceramic Soup Tureen - 7½"

An early 20th-century French white-glazed ceramic soup tureen with domed cover, featuring a rounded body on a shallow pedestal foot, a scalloped rim with molded rocaille, twin foliate scroll handles, and a knop finial with ladle notch. The soft white glaze enhances its Rococo Revival curves, echoing Louis XV taste in a restrained monochrome palette. Unmarked, it reflects the production of provincial French factories that supplied elegant yet practical wares for everyday dining. Minor glaze losses.

In today’s interiors, the tureen works beautifully as a centerpiece on a dining table or sideboard, either pressed back into service for soup or used as a vessel for seasonal greens. Its quiet white glaze suits traditional, country French, and coastal rooms, and it layers well with mixed whites and silver on a buffet. On open kitchen shelving or in a butler’s pantry, it brings sculptural presence and a note of nostalgia.
