Italian Pumpkin Tureen

Lovely, Italian ceramic tureen, presented in the shape of a pumpkin. Hand painted, is a wonderful, soft orange, with some faint dripping, to give it texture and varying shades of orange and some brown. The stem of the pumpkin is on the lid, and like a real pumpkin, it curves, and is painted and shades of green with brown and orange accents. The lid lifts off so that you could serve a stew or soup directly from this piece, the lid has an opening for a ladle handle. Fun piece to use during the holidays.

12 inches in diameter by 5 inches deep (tall)
7 inches tall when you include the height of the handle on the lid
The base of the terrain is 12 inches in diameter by 4 inches deep

Nice condition without any damage, no chips, no cracks. Very mild crazing. There are imperfections that occurred during the hand painting of this piece, most notably, there is a smudge of black paint on the side see the photo, there is some over Painting and uneven painting.

Ladle is not included
