EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Boar's Head Tureen and Stand, created around 1750, showcases the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of the 18th century. The unknown artist masterfully crafted this piece using tin-glazed earthenware Delft, a technique originating from the Netherlands. The boar's head, intricately modeled and painted in detail, sits proudly atop the tureen, its fierce expression and curved tusks adding a novelty and sculptural element to this functional tableware. The wild boar, an Eurasian wild pig, was a popular motif during the 18th century, symbolizing strength, power, and abundance. This tureen and stand would have been a prized possession in a wealthy household, used to serve hot stews or soups at grand banquets or formal dinners. The glazed surface of the tureen and stand displays a rich, caramel-toned glaze, with intricate floral and geometric patterns adorning the body. The close-up view of the image reveals the fine details of the artist's brushstrokes and the delicate texture of the ceramic. Today, this Boar's Head Tureen and Stand is a cherished piece of heritage art, now residing at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It serves as a reminder of the artistic traditions and cultural heritage of the past, while also showcasing the timeless beauty and craftsmanship of ceramics.
