Perfect for serving a hearty French farmhouse soup or a delicate consomme, these charming soup tureens were made from local clay in Burgundy, France, using a pottery tradition that has been alive since 1850. The clay is an excellent material for retaining heat, so soups keep their warmth in these bowls as you gather your guests to the table. The bowls have cream-colored interiors and painted exteriors that are covered with a translucent glaze, creating a rustic-looking finish. The glaze is lead-free and wont crack, discolor, or scratch. These bowls go in freezer, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and under the broiler, and are very easy to clean. Adorned with majestic lion's head handles on either side, the two bowls in this set are 4-1/2 inches around and 3-3/4 inches high. Each tureen holds a single 16-ounce serving. All of the pottery in Emile Henrys Le Potier line are covered by a one-year warranty against defects.
