Tureen 1861 - 1864

This elegant tureen, created by the Manufacture nationale de Sèvres between 1861 and 1864, is a fine example of French porcelain artistry. The piece features a simple yet refined form, with a rounded body, a domed lid, and delicate scroll-shaped handles. The tureen is adorned with a gilded band and a prominent monogram, a symbol of the imperial family, further highlighting its prestigious origins. It is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a testament to the enduring appeal of French decorative arts.
