A rare find - a French antique boullion container or "Pot de Bouillon" which is a broth pot made from heavy white porcelain with a little porcelain lid - over the top of that is a heavy pewter lid.
There are many stories about how these were originally used and for what purpose, although most people agree they were used keep soups or soup-like foods hot while to transporting them to work, say perhaps to the fields if you were a farmer.
This one is being sold as a decorative piece only.
In summary, a really wonderful piece of French history that will make an excellent piece of home decor, especially in interiors of a rustic, farmhouse or country nature.
