Antique Wm. Guérin & Co. Limoges France Covered Tureen | Hand-Gilded Floral Porcelain

A magnificent antique covered tureen by Wm. Guérin & Co., crafted in Limoges, France during the Belle Époque period (circa 1891–1932).

This grand piece features a gracefully domed lid with a heart-shaped finial, flanked by ornate gilded side handles. The fine porcelain body is adorned with soft floral sprays in pink, green, and violet, delicately trailing across its gently scalloped form.

With its romantic palette and luminous glaze, this tureen captures the artistry that made Limoges porcelain world-renowned—elegance, restraint, and the touch of a maker’s hand. Whether displayed as a centerpiece or cherished as a collectible, it’s a statement of enduring French refinement.
