Covered Oval Soup Tureen

Covered vegetable

Two handles on the bowl

Three sided floral knob on the lid

The lid has a somewhat scalloped edge

Footed base

No notch in lid for ladle

White porcelain

The pattern features a delicate, embossed motif set in relief on the porcelain, I assume of hawthorn blossom leaves given the name

Hawthorn was traditionally thought to support and protect matters of the heart; physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The design's roots trace back to an 18th-century Pont-aux-Choux factory in Paris, with the original plate now housed at the Louvre Museum.
