Large Blue and White Porcelain Soup Tureen French 18th Century
By Arras Foundry
Located in Katonah, NY
  Decorated with an elegant design of delicate blue cornflower sprigs, this soup tureen was made by Arras Porcelain in Arras, France, in the late 18th century. The cornflower sprigs, handles, and border edging are decorated with beautiful deep twilight blue enamel. The makers of Arras Porcelain specialized in porcelain painted in this entrancing blue called "Bleu d'Arras." The color of the porcelain body is creamy white. The combination of the creamy white ground and the blue decoration is splendid. Natural forms like the tree branch handle and the blue cornflower decorations were the height of French fashion in the last quarter of the 18th century. Made at the Arras porcelain factory of the Delemers family circa 1780, the tureen and its stand are marked in underglaze blue. Dimensions:16" wide x 13" deep x 9.5" tall Condition: Excellent, with some hard-to-see rubbing to the clear glaze on the stand Price: $1,520 The underside of the tureen is marked with the letters "AR" for the Delemers family Arras factory.
