This delightful 18th-century blue and white porcelain tureen was hand-painted at the Mennecy Porcelain factory in France circa 1750. Loose flower sprigs painted in cobalt blue decorate the tureen and its fixed stand. The porcelain has the creamy tone that soft paste Mennecy Porcelain is known for. The overglaze blue decoration appears to sink into the smooth, soft-paste porcelain, creating a beautiful, soft look. Dimensions: 10″ long x 6″ wide x 5.5″ height Condition: Excellent Marks: Marked on the underside with the Mennecy factory “D/V” mark
