Regular price
$210.00
Presented is a great large French porcelain covered entree dish or tureen from the 1870s. This piece displays a gorgeous orange and gold pattern with classic French scroll and leafy details around the base and lid of the piece. The handles shows an interesting interwoven vine-style design. The design has an applied darker orange border with the light orange being hand painted. On both sides of the base of the dish, there is a stylized monogram, a W and T, interwoven, made up of the orange style decorations and pink roses to make up the letters.
The underside of the dish is marked with the initials “E.C.” on a raised plaque for the maker. The “E” likely for “Ernie Du Bac Paris” as this is the mark we see in the plates and bowls we have in the same pattern. We have other pieces in this pattern. We encourage you to view our page or reach out if you are interested in more of this collection.
The covered dish is in great overall condition, especially considering age. The pattern details and the gilding are in great shape with some loses, mostly around the high points and border of the lid. There is one small repair on the edge of the lid as pointed out in the 7th photo, this repair is very minor. There are no crack, no crazing, no breaks, and no repairs to the base of this dish.
Measurements: 13 1/2 inches across from handle to handle 9 inches wide 9 inches tall with lid -kc
