Vintage Italian Asparagus Sauce Tureen - Elegant Ceramic Serving Bowl for Fine Dining & Dinner Parties - Perfect for Sauces, Gravies & Side Dishes

This Italian porcelain sauce tureen, comprising of a bowl afixed to a saucer with a domed lid and ladle notch, is among John Derian's trove of handpicked . Molded and hand-painted to resemble a bundle of asparagus, these sculptural forms gained popularity in 18th-century Europe, where vegetable-shaped serveware added a note of whimsy to formal dining, often used for sauces or sweets in a clever visual pun.
