Description
Italian Majolica tureen in a rare oversized onion/garlic form. Simultaneously traditional and surrealist, this charming tureen is an ode to the vegetable that forms the foundation of the world's favorite delicacies. Shallot ladle is whimsical addition to this very special piece. Marked made in Italy on reverse; handpainted in shades of white, green, and ochre. French onion soup, perhaps?
