Antique Lelex Salins France Decor Inalterable Ceramic Plater Lidded Vegatable/Soup Tureen Bowl Up for sale is an Antique Lelex salins france Decor Inalterable Ceramic Plater Lidded Vegatable/Soup Tureen Bowl. This piece comes straight from a "BROCANTE" that my wife and I went to when we visited France back in April. A brocante is a town or village flea market which are usually held once a month. We hand caried this back in our cary on insuring that it would no be damged. It is a large piece with the plater measuring 17.5x11. The lidded bowl is 15x10x7.5. This was bought from an old French man in his 80's who told me it was his mothers. The exact age of the piece is unknown but I can tell you that there is heavy crazing through out the piece which really tells you it's age....VERY OLD. If I had to guess at the age based on the appearance of the ceramic and crazing I would guess it to be from the early 20th century or late 19the century. There are no chips or cracks in the piece but again, let me menition the HEAVY CRAZING through out the piece and direct your attention to the photos showing this. This item will ship INSURED for a safe worry free arrival. I have searched extensively trying to find more information about the maker of this but there was very little out there. I can tell you with confidance that you will not find another piece like this for sale or anywhere else. I have searched and these just don't come up for sale and/or are very rare. I could find no matching piece with the same pattern on the internet. I paid quite a few Euro's for this and it was not easy getting this back in one piece so I believe I am asking more than a fare price for this antique piece.
