The set includes: 1. Large Covered Soup Tureen: Measures approximately 14" inches long (handle-to-handle) x 8" inches wide x 4.5" inches tall.

POUYAT LIMOGES"). - The matching Shell Platter is unmarked on the reverse, which is standard for secondary accent pieces in early 20th-century Limoges sets. It is a perfect structural, porcelain-glaze, and gold-gilt match to the tureen, confirming they belong to the same original factory service. Excellent antique condition with no chips, cracks, or hairline fractures. The white glaze is bright and smooth, and the gold gilding remains exceptionally vibrant with only minimal, age-appropriate storage wear. This breathtaking set represents the pinnacle of Edwardian-era luxury dining and would make a magnificent centerpiece for holiday gatherings or a premier addition to an antique Limoges porcelain collection.
