This Italian porcelain tureen set, comprising of a bowl, cover, and underplate, is among John Derian's trove of handpicked . Featuring a delicately modeled asparagus spears along it's edges, halved hard-boiled eggs, and black printed maker’s mark, the piece draws on the Rococo-era tradition of whimsical tableware. Asparagus tureens became fashionable in the 18th century not only for their charm but also as a playful nod to form and function, often used to serve dessert in an playful twist on their savory design.
