Soup Tureen

Soup Tureen
Paul Storr
Hallmarked London, 1805

This impressive tureen is a Georgian masterpiece of fine dining, featuring elongated and evenly spaced gadrooning that accentuates its grandeur. The reeded handles, tied at the center, emerge from sculptural lions’ heads at each end, exemplifying the opulence of the tureen. Lifting this substantial tureen, especially when filled with soup, would have required considerable strength, reflecting the social significance of serving from such a magnificent sterling silver vessel at a formal table.

Crafted by the renowned silversmith Paul Storr, this tureen holds even greater importance. Storr is celebrated for his exceptional artistry, setting the standard for silverware in the early 19th century. His works were synonymous with luxury and taste, often commissioned by royalty and the aristocracy. Owning or gifting an item by Storr was not only a mark of wealth but also a symbol of refined taste and social prestige.

The heraldic arms engraved on the tureen are those of the Peters family of London, granted in 1748, impaling another family's arms, further enhancing its historical significance and connection to English heritage.
