Michel Caugant Mallard Duck Vintage Tureen French Ceramic Figurine Ornament
This vintage Michel Caugant tureen is a beautiful piece of hand-painted French pottery, featuring the iconic mallard duck design. Michel Caugant pieces are highly regarded for their artistic detail and distinctive zoomorphic designs, with many dating from the 1950s through the 1980s. This collectible ceramic displays a rich green head, a classic yellow beak, and detailed feathering throughout the lid. As each authentic piece is hand-painted, it possesses unique variations in its finish and coloring.
The tureen is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. There is some fine crazing to the glaze which is expected due to age, but the colours remain incredibly vibrant. These pieces are typically made from high-quality earthenware, known for their rich, glossy glazes. The tureen measures 10 x 17 x 9 cm. The underside features the maker's signature and a French inscription that translates to: "This piece in true earthenware was entirely handmade. I offer it to you exclusively. Michel Caugant".
