Italian Vintage Hand Painted Soup Tureen with Lid, Ladle and Underplate

Manufactured in Italy in the 1960's, this lovely blue and white tureen set featured blue hand painted flowers on white ceramic. The tureen is 10" wide and 5.25" deep, the underplate is 14.24" in diameter and the ladle is 11". This item is not perfect so if you are looking for brand new you best move along. But if you are looking for a vintage piece of history in lovely condition, this is your piece. There are three flaws. Some crazing in the center of the underplate, a small nick on the lid and a chip under one of the handles, all pictured. These flaws are appropriate for the age and are not noticeable unless you look very closely.

Please Note: Before I list an item for sale, I do extensive research to identify its origin, pattern, date manufactured, and authenticity. I also inspect each item very closely and disclose any imperfections I see, but my items are mostly vintage, gently used pieces, and there may be a flaw I missed or even a mistaken pattern name or manufacturer given.
