Antique Faience Cabbage Form Soup Tureen Hand-Painted in Brussels Circa 1765

This late 18th-century French soup tureen is decorated with an elegant design of delicate cornflower sprigs. The color of the porcelain body is creamy white. The cornflower sprigs, handles, and border edging are decorated with beautiful deep twilight blue enamel.
