Vintage Large White Ironstone French Soupiere Bowl by Pillyvuyt

A lovely clean example of a large French white ironstone footed soup bowl with decorative lion head handles.

Bearing a mark for renowned French makers Pillivuyt, and dating from the mid part of the 20th Century, this soupiere is in excellent condition. Great for day to day use, this large plain whiteware bowl also looks beautiful on display.

In excellent condition, this bowl just has signs of wear on its base rim and some minor scuff marks on the surface. There are no chips, cracks or crazing. The detail of the lion’s head handles are more detailed than normally found on these types of bowls and the bowl also has a nice lined decorative feature on the top rim and foot of the bowl.
