The impressive cover is surmounted by the original reed decorated handle ornamented with impressive leaf designs.
This antique soup tureen is fitted with two further handles embellished with reed decoration and a leaf decorated collar to the centre of the handpiece.
Each handle is ornamented with large and impressive leaf decorated terminals in junCtion with the fluted body.
