A fabulous antique English soup tureen made in London at the turn of the 19th Century!
With a classic Regency shape and style but with a touch of Roman interpretation, this large tureen must be displayed for all to see but also enjoyed at your next dinner party.
Features a royal inspired design of gold laurel wreaths, navy blue and gold trims.
Given its size and shape, this tureen would look beautiful on a buffet table, as shown in my photos.

James Shoolbred and Co. (aka Jas Shoolbred) were established during the Regency period of the 1820’s. Noted for a sophisticated aesthetic look, their pieces often referenced Regency interpretations of Greek and Roman antiquity. They quickly gained a reputation for high quality products and by the 1880’s, Shoolbred had opened the London's’s first large department store on Tottenham Court Road, London.
In the mid 1880’s Schoolbred was granted a Royal Warrant, testament to the quality of their products but eventually ceased trading in 1931 following the financial depression of the 1920’s.
