This 3 piece soup tureen set has classic beauty and is versatile in every way. You can serve warm sauces to great winter chowders from your kitchen to the dinner table. The handles on the tureen stay cool as you serve your dishes. This porcelain piece is dishwasher and microwave safe. This tureen set includes tureen, lid, and ladlle. Fill the tureen with hot soup, chili, or stew that has been heated on the stove, place on the dinner or buffet table, and allow guests to serve themselves. A cutout in the lid base allows the ladle handle to emerge, ready to scoop out the contents within.
