Who knew a tureen could be so stunningly beautiful and hard to part with? We stumbled upon this antique piece, seeming from Kutahya, a western Turkish city very well known for it's ceramic ware - specifically it's bold use of outline, and colors, like turquoise, cobalt and brick-reds.
While the maker only left behind two cobalt-blue blobs (on the bottom and on the underside of the lid), it has been impossible to trace the exact origin. What we do know is that this piece is rare - we haven't seen another quite like it - and is in incredibly condition with no chips or cracks and it's so beautiful to look at. The almost watercolor effect of the hand-painting is gorgeous on the creamy off-white background.
Before we got this, we would have never thought a soup tureen would make a centerpiece, but it's been sitting in the middle of Amy's table for weeks now; set alongside some plants, it's a strikingly curated piece that turns heads.
Research suggests this comes from Kütahya, Turkey early 20th century, based on similar styles and markings.
Unknown maker, marked with cobalt blue ink blob under the lid and on foot
