GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This form of octagonal tureen was fashionable during the 1760s and 1770s and was made with various finials and handles. This example in the Reves collection features bell-flower finials and peccary-head handles. The enameling consists of European-style flower sprigs and bamboo borders. This border design was most popular round 1770. The gilt monograms on this piece and others in the collection (see 1985.R.877.A-C, 1985.R.879.A-C) read PEG and are surmounted by a crest.
It is rare for soup tureens to survive with their matching sauce tureens. The service from which the Reves examples come was probably made for the English market.
