Serve soup with a touch of Victorian elegance using this antique Theodore Haviland Limoges tureen. Its glossy, translucent white porcelain, hand-decorated floral garlands and bright 22-karat gold details make it a striking centrepiece as well as a functional covered serving piece.

Set it at the centre of a holiday table or display it with your fine china. The flared rim, scalloped borders and scrolling side handles bring graceful detail to a formal dinner setting.

  • Historic French maker: Made by Theodore Haviland in Limoges, France, and dating to circa the late 1890s to early 1900s.
  • Hand-decorated flowers: Delicate floral garlands add refined colour against the brilliant white porcelain.
  • 22K gold trim: Rich gilt highlights the scalloped borders, side handles and matching lid finial.
  • Coordinating cover: The lidded top includes a built-in ladle-notch cutout for serving.
  • Elegant serving shape: A flared rim and scrolling handles give the tureen a distinctive Victorian dinnerware look.
  • Excellent antique condition: The porcelain is glossy and clean, without structural chips, cracks or heavy staining; the gold detailing remains bright and well-preserved.

Bring it out for a festive soup course, where the detailed gilt catches the eye between servings. When it is not on the table, its antique craftsmanship makes a graceful addition to a fine china collection.

Condition is noted carefully, because every piece has lived a life before this one.
