Minton majolica game pie tureen with hunting dog, late 19th Century
By Minton
Located in Paris, FR
This late 19th-century Minton majolica game pie tureen and cover offer a glimpse into the richness of Victorian dining. The cover features a meticulously molded hunting dog nestled amidst ferns, evoking scenes of countryside pursuits. The basketweave sides are adorned with detailed depictions of a hare and pheasant, while elegant branch handles and scroll feet complete the ensemble, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship typical of the era.
