Tureen with cover (part of a set) 1755 - 1765

This tureen with a cover, made by Pierre Chapelle II in the mid-18th century, is a fine example of French Rococo-style ceramics. The tureen's elaborate form, with its swirling, asymmetrical curves and delicate floral decorations, embodies the elegance and refinement of the Rococo era. The tureen is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time, reflecting the French aristocracy's taste for opulence and beauty.
