A very large and magnificent lidless tureen, made of fine Villeroy & Boch earthenware, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century (circa 1890-1910), with the Mettlach factory stamp on the base. This generously sized piece features a rounded body resting on a circular foot and two molded handles. The cream glaze has a rich patina from age and use, with regular, old crackling. It has a very attractive decorative appearance in a Shabby Chic and Old French Farmhouse style.
Maximum width with handles approximately 33 cm, maximum height 17.5 cm, opening diameter 23 cm. In very good structural condition. No cracks or chips. The patina is pronounced and even, with stains, variations in color, and old crackling, giving it a superb, authentic antique appearance. Approximately 2.5-3 kg.
