19th Century Creil Montereau Flora White And Blue Faience Tureen And Platters

A charming and highly decorative late 19th-century French faience tureen by Creil & Montereau, from the sought-after Flora pattern, accompanied by its matching underplate and serving plate. Decorated in an elegant cobalt blue transferware design on a warm ivory ground, this ensemble displays a beautifully romantic floral composition with scrolling vines, blossoms, and delicate ornamental borders typical of refined French tableware of the period.

The tureen features gracefully shaped side handles accented with hand-finished blue highlights and an ornate domed lid crowned with an intertwined loop handle resting upon sculptural foliage motifs, lending the piece a particularly elegant silhouette. Raised on a pedestal foot and richly decorated throughout, it offers visual interest from every angle and reflects the refined craftsmanship associated with Creil & Montereau.

The underside bears the Creil Montereau Flora mark, helping to date the set to the late 19th-century. Whether displayed in a country house kitchen, a French provincial interior, or incorporated into an elegant blue and white collection, this piece makes a sophisticated decorative statement while also remaining a beautiful example of historic French tableware.

Presented in antique condition with ageappropriate wear consistent with use and time, adding to its authentic charm.
