High quality, elegant white porcelain 1-1/2-cup Lion"s Head Tureen that is beautiful enough to go with your fine china on your table. Pillivuyt"s lion"s head tureens hold a unique place in the international market with the use of skilled, highly-trained craftsmen to make the finishing touches. Another unique feature of these tureens is the manual application of the lion"s head to the outside of the tureen before the final firing. This avoids the problematic indentation found on the inside of other remanufacturer"s versions of this bowl - and creates a much more elegant and finely detailed look. Pillivuyt cookware is internationally known for its exceptionally even heat conduction, versatility and durability. Fired at 2400-Degree, Pillivuyt easily withstands the intense heat from the highest oven temperatures and yet remains strong, chip resistant and is graced with enduring and dependable beauty. Because of the extraordinarily hard glaze, baked-on food can be removed easily with a short soak or gentle scrubbing.
