This French 18th century large polychrome Faience lidded soup toureen or entree dish with scallop-shaped edges attributable to Rouen manufacture is a delightful hand painted majolica object with nature-inspired patterns that can serve also as a lovely centrepiece. The large bowl has two handles decorated with stylized insects and a lid with scalloped edges and a flower-shaped knob. 

This lovely majolica centerpiece has plenty of hand painted natural decorations blooming flowers, blossoms, butterflies and birds around the double Cornucopia pattern - simbol of prosperity- the whole design is rendered in a polychrome palette of colors, typical of 18th century Rouen compositions, ranging from green, blue, iron red and mustard yellow on a white background.
Two handles decorated with hand painted stylized insects. The dome shaped lid of this wonderful glazed ceramic bowl features a knob on top in the form of a flower.
A fancy, whimsical and spring- themed item to add in your table décor or pottery collection or to use as a colorful centrepiece on a chest or console.
Very good overall condition considering age and use, perfect structural condition, slight chipping only on some points along the edges that let glimpse the clay and give the charm of time to this lovely vitrine object. Original patina.
It has no visible marks but the high end painted decorations and patterns allow us to attribute this earthenware piece to Rouen manufacture.
Dimensions: H. 22 cm, Diameter 34 cm.
