  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.

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.
