tureens
Large serving dishes
Tureens are large, deep serving dishes with lids, typically used for soups and stews.
The lid keeps contents warm while the vessel sits at the table.
Tureens often have handles on both sides and may come with a ladle: She lifted the lid of the tureen and ladled out the bisque.
Elaborate tureens can be decorative centerpieces.
