Title: Antique Tureen? Photos. Help?
Post by: jalcon on November 05, 2013, 08:45:46 PM

I've got this antique soup tureen. Wondering if any of you guys could shed some light on it. It is roughtly 12 inches across. It's got some weight to it, probably weighs 5 lbs. I don't know if it is ceramic or porcelain to be honest. I has no makers mark's on it except for "1851" on the bottom. It's got chateau de versailles on it - some kind of coat of arms or something, which is in France. Anyways, if you couldn't already tell, I'm clueless on this one. Any help is GREATLY appreciated - What it is, how old, and if it's worth anything. See pics below. Thanks!

It's done in the style of "Chinese Export Porcelain". Myself, I would question the "date" on the bottom as far as being indicative of actual age.
