Antique Haviland & Co. Limoges Covered Tureen – French Porcelain Soup or Vegetable Dish – Pink Floral Transferware

This exquisite antique covered tureen from Haviland & Co. Limoges is a romantic piece of French porcelain history. Featuring delicate pink floral transferware on a creamy ivory glaze, this oval lidded dish is finished with ornate side handles and a decorative finial on the lid. Whether used for serving or simply as a charming display piece, it adds timeless French elegance to any setting.

Marked with the H&Co impressed stamp on the base, this piece was produced in Limoges, France, likely in the late 1800s to early 1900s. Its generous size and subtle wear make it a beautiful yet functional treasure from a bygone era.

Why I Chose This Piece:
There’s something magical about old French porcelain — the delicate patterns, the creamy glaze, the soft fade of time. When I found this piece, I was immediately drawn to the pink florals and how they seem to float across the surface like pressed flowers in an old book. It's the kind of piece that feels both elegant and inviting.
