Mid-Century Large Ceramic Lobster-Topped Italian Soup Tureen
About the Item
A rare one-of-a-kind find! This lobster-topped soup tureen makes me smile. I'm ready to drop everything and gather my family and friends for a hearty dinner al fresco.
This is an artisanal piece for sure -- hand-glazed ceramic from Italy and produced in limited quantities. The cream-colored tureen itself is quite generous in size and has a built-in cutaway to accommodate your favorite serving spoon. The red glazing of the lobster is a stunning and happy appetite-inducing color. The lobster itself is articulated with quite a lot of detail -- enough so that it has a personality and whimsy about it -- as though it's draped itself over the top of the tureen for a bit of
R & R.
