About the Item

This vibrant 1960s Italian majolica tureen is a masterful example of trompe l’oeil ceramic artistry, meticulously designed to mimic a ripe, oversized garden tomato. Handcrafted with a stunning high-gloss red glaze, the piece features a rich, mottled texture that adds exceptional depth and realism to its sculptural form. The lid is crowned with a beautifully detailed green stem that serves as both a functional handle and a naturalistic focal point. This tureen perfectly captures the whimsical yet sophisticated charm of mid-century Italian pottery, blending culinary tradition with high-end artisanal flair. Measuring 10.75" wide, 10.75" deep, and 7.5" tall, this substantial lidded bowl is an ideal choice for serving seasonal soups or functioning as a standout decorative centerpiece on a kitchen island or hutch. It is in great vintage condition, showcasing minor surface scuffs and light glaze variations that serve as an authentic patina, adding to its storied character and mid-century heritage. Whether you are a dedicated collector of Italian ceramics or looking to infuse your dining space with a touch of "Grandmillennial" style, this piece offers enduring appeal. Add this delightful Italian treasure to your collection today. In great vintage condition. Minor scuffs and blemishes appropriate to age and use, appearing as a lovely authentic patina that enhances its handcrafted character. The high-gloss glaze remains vibrant with light surface wear consistent with age. The ladle is not original to the tureen, but I’m happy to include it with purchase
