Large antique soup tureen K&G Lunéville Compiègne model in ironstone.

Beautiful and large soup tureen in ironstone from the K&G Lunéville factory, Compiègne model, dating from the late 19th or early 20th century, around 1880-1900. Elegant round shape resting on a pedestal, equipped with two side handles and its original lid. Decorated in blue-green transfer on a glossy white background, featuring swans, floral friezes, medallions, and rococo-style ornaments. Very good overall condition for its age, with beautiful naturally crazed antique glaze; there is a small chip with a hairline on the underside of the lid near one handle, which is not penetrating and does not weaken it, two very small discreet chips on the inner rim, as well as some light stains and original cooking/manufacturing defects, light patina on the foot, and a small discreet glaze defect on the top.
