Pigeon Tureen c. 1755

This realistically modeled Pigeon Tureen, crafted in porcelain by the Strasbourg Pottery and Porcelain Factory around 1755, exemplifies the Rococo style's fascination with nature. The tureen's delicate details, including the bird's feathered plumage and the green base, are rendered in a palette of soft pink, brown, and white. This charming and functional piece was designed to serve food in a fashionable and decorative manner, and its presence in a collection demonstrates the high-quality craftsmanship of the Strasbourg factory.
