household object #1 - soup tureen

my lovely porcelain soup tureen sees a lot of love these days as partner likes to have a lot of soup during the cold spell. this thing holds a lot of soup, could serve four and if need be, six. i got this while i was in muscat, oman many years ago. the british lady who shared the flat with me went on vacation and didn't come back, she wrote to me saying i can have all her stuff if i wanted them. i only wanted the soup tureens (there were two) and the rest of her china and crystal i gave to a couple of filipina workers whose contracts had finished and they were going home. they were happy campers needless to say.

i have used this tureen so many times when i would invite friends over for dinner. beef burgundy looks enticingly delicious served on this dish.

household objects for the next seven days for the flash of red february challenge.
so pretty

Lovely! I have an old one from my grandmother which I'm afraid to use. I have a feeling it's quite valuable- it even has a matching ladle. Beef Burgundy sounds wonderful!

@olivetreeann - well, your grandmother might get offended if you don't use it! :-) thank you, ann.

@summerfield I don't think she used it much either to be honest. It weighs a ton!!
