Tureen c. 1760

This 18th-century tureen, crafted by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company, is a fine example of English ceramic artistry. The piece features a delicate, white porcelain body, adorned with intricate molded details depicting a bird nestled within a woven basket. The tureen's simple yet elegant form, coupled with the realistic depiction of the bird, reflects the popular fascination with nature during the Georgian era. Its presence in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago highlights the enduring appeal of this finely crafted porcelain piece.
