1 of 2, Rare antique heavy soupiere with men's heads from shops France, Vintage, Tableware, Iron stone, Ironstone

A rarity from France. We have never seen such soupieres before. In very heavy (over 4 kg!) Execution. Massive porcelain. The special thing is that the handles are made as "Greek" inspired men's heads. 1 burst at the lower foot and at one of the two - inside 1 dark crack, but which is glazed. Marketed under the foot - see photo 5. Important to mention that these specimens were probably never designed for a lid. There are no "friction marks" at all at the top, which would otherwise be the case if she had ever had a lid. H: approx. 20.5 cm, diameter approx. 30 shops cm - the price is per piece, there are 2 of them available.
