Paul Storr, a prominent English silversmith, created this soup tureen with cover and stand between 1806 and 1808. The piece is a prime example of the Neoclassical style that was prevalent in the early 19th century. The tureen's elegant form, intricate detailing, and polished silver surface speak to the high craftsmanship and refined taste of the period. Storr's mastery is evident in the meticulous execution of the ornate handles, the beaded borders, and the stand's elegant feet, showcasing the enduring appeal of traditional silver craftsmanship.
