Floral Rococo – Rosenthal Sanssouci Rococo Tureen Set – Bowl, Lid & Underplate, Hand-Painted Gilt Elegance

There is a certain romance when a table is dressed in Rosenthal Sanssouci porcelain. This complete covered tureen set — comprising the open-handled bowl, its fitted lid, and original underplate — carries forward the elegance of 18th-century Rococo design into the present.

The Sanssouci line, named for Frederick the Great’s Rococo palace in Potsdam, was one of Rosenthal’s most beloved tableware patterns. Its raised scrollwork borders, hand-applied gilding, and soft floral sprays were meant not only to serve meals, but to create atmosphere — to remind each guest that they were part of a refined occasion.

This set’s soft ivory porcelain, touched with painted bouquets and gilded flourishes, invites the eye to linger. The underplate frames the tureen gracefully, protecting your tablecloth while amplifying its presence. The bowl’s sculpted handles and ornate lid finial add depth and artistry, making it as much a centerpiece as it is a serving vessel.

Whether displayed in a china cabinet or filled with a family recipe, this tureen set offers more than function — it holds a legacy of European artistry and ceremonial dining.
