Vintage Small French Ironstone Lion’s Head Bowls/Tureens
$25.00
1 in stock
Charming small white glazed pottery bistro bowl measuring approximately 2 1/4” high x 3 1/2” diameter. It has a rounded, bulbous shape, and small applied lion’s head handles at the sides.
The form is like traditional European utilitarian kitchen pottery, including small French-style confit, preserve, condiment, or storage pots. Its size suggests it may have been intended for salt, mustard, condiments, preserves, or another small serving/storage purpose rather than as a full-size confit pot. Practical and pretty!
We have several in stock. They are similar in size and shape, but have slight variations. I have included a picture with multiple pieces to give a sense of the minor variations. They all are in very good condition. When you order we will pick a great one for you.
Measures approximately:
2 1/4″ inches tall x 3 1/2” diameter
I have been sourcing these wonderful English and French Curiosities for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England and France. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
