The tureen is a food serving dish first introduced in France. Tureens are mostly used for serving foods like soups and stews. Tureen comes in a round or oval shape with handles on both sides and a cover for the top with a handle in it. Tureens are also made in various shapes such as animal and flower shapes. Tureen was first introduced around the 18th century. The dish was created in France and represents the tradition of serving food in France. Tureens are made from various materials such as ceramic, porcelain, and so on.
Silver is used in making tureens as well but most of the tureens made from silver during late times were mostly used by the imperial family. Tureens were used as the symbol of one’s wealth, status, and social standing. Thus, they were often decorated with valuable ornaments and accessories. The tureens made during the 18th century were less decorated. Meanwhile, the tureens made during the 19th century were more decorated and made with the feature of lions and many more designs. During the time of 19th century, silver tureens were made less, and ceramic tureens become more popular and fashionable. They were heavier than the tureens before and were more developed in terms of decoration.
