Covered Tureen

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Covered Tureen by Royal Worcester features a predominantly white porcelain base adorned with green, pink, and gold designs. The piece has two handles, one on each side, and a matching lid with a gold knob on top. The lid and tureen are decorated with floral patterns and insects. A saucer matches the bowl in design and color. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
