Hand-painted and uniquely sculpted, our ceramic duck tureen turns everyday decor into a point of interest. Its two-piece design and delicate floral detailing make it a functional accent and a natural conversation starter.
Duck-shaped ceramics have a long tradition in European decorative arts, dating back to 18th-century French and Italian faience. Originally, these pieces served as functional tureens or serving vessels while doubling as whimsical, sculptural accents for the dining table. Over time, the form became a symbol of playful elegance, inspiring mid-20th-century studios across Europe to create decorative reinterpretations.
This midcentury version pays homage to that tradition while offering practical versatility as a tabletop accoutrement, small storage vessel, or display object. For Paul Hanson, Italy.
