Large vintage soup tureen in glazed ultramarine ceramic

Large soup tureen or covered dish in glazed ceramic with a sculptural pumpkin silhouette, in a deep, shiny ultramarine blue with almost cobalt reflections depending on the light. The ribbed lid extends into a high handle reminiscent of the fruit's stem, giving the whole piece a very decorative presence that blends 1970s design with botanical inspiration. No brand or origin indicated. In good vintage condition, with slight signs of use and fine superficial marks visible in low light inside and under the base, small chips on the edge of the lid. Diameter at the widest point 24 cm, height without lid 14 cm, height with lid 22.5 cm, diameter of the opening approximately 17 cm, estimated capacity approximately 3 litres. A strong and colourful piece for an interior with carefully chosen vintage accents.
