Egyptian Khedive Tureen

This is a very rare lidded tureen made by Doccia / Ginori in the late 19th century. It is hand painted with a famous decoration designed by Gaetano Lodi between 1873 and 1875 for the Egyptian Khedive (Viceroy during the Turkish occupation) which looks quite stunning and is definitely very Egyptian :) One does not see many of these pieces except for in books and this here is the red and gold design version which matched my little plates that I also own. The handles are more colorful with red, yellow, black, green and gold colors. The lid finial and the designs on the lid are using those same colors. Can't say I ever some across a terrine from this design! A very rare and stunning design with some nice history. The terrine is in superb condition with some very minor wear to the gilding to the top edge where the lid sits which is to be expected. It is marked underneath as shown with the red Ginori Italy inder a stylized crown mark which was then used for Richard Ginori 's highest end pieces. Also GINORI over G in green and a red number 0518. This dish is 6.75 inches tall and 13 inches from handle to handle and 6.5 inches wide. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
