Crafted from 800 out of 1000 parts pure silver, this Milanese lidded tureen is really one of the most beautiful pieces of Italian silver we have had to date. The footed tureen which has two leaf form handles is beautifully crafted with a hand worked leaf motif featured throughout. The knop of the lid is a fine floral sprig which has been exquisitely crafted and finishes the piece beautifully. Crafted entirely from what is often referred to as 'Continental' silver, the piece dates to Milan between 1944 and 1968. A really lovely object to display on a buffet amongst fine pieces, or a very practical piece to use for a winter broth.
