Game Pie Tureen c. 1850

This "Game Pie Tureen" is a ceramic serving dish made by the Wedgwood Manufactory around 1850. The tureen is decorated with a detailed, molded design of grapevines and other flora, which is a common motif in Wedgwood's work. The lid is topped with a sculpted rabbit, reflecting the Victorian era's interest in nature and hunting. This piece, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the craftsmanship and decorative style of the renowned pottery company.
