The Digoin-Sarreguemines factory, born from the merger of two major French faience manufacturers, produced tableware throughout the 20th century renowned for the quality of its ivory glaze and the freshness of its hand-painted floral decorations. This tureen belongs to pattern 9177, one of the manufactory's most appreciated designs. On a slightly creamy ivory background, a generous bouquet combines a large burgundy rose with shaded petals, blue forget-me-nots, and deep green foliage. A blue band runs along the rim, accentuating the shape without making it heavy. The form itself is refined: an octagonal body with rounded corners, two well-proportioned side handles, and a lid with a cylindrical finial bearing the same floral decoration. The piece is complete, with its original lid. The backstamp, marked 9177 / Digoin / Sarreguemines / France, along with the form number 87, confirms its origin and production period, dating from the 1950s-1970s. With an internal diameter of 27 cm and a height of 19 cm including the lid, it is a generous tureen, made for large gatherings. In very good overall condition. A beautiful piece of antique French tableware, complete and signed, for lovers of French-style dining.
