c.1880 Ch. Pillivuyt & Co. Oval Tureen w/ Provenance Monogramed - Florida French Huguenots - Part of Set Please check out my other auctions for additional pieces to this fine set! A very fine French monogramed oval lidded tureen made by Charles Pillivuyt & Co. in the late 1800's. This classic pedestal tureen is decorated with a band of dusty rose, outlined with gold gilt banding - gold detailing enhances the finial, handles and pedestal base. The lid and base have a beautiful monogram, "EFN", for Earl Fredrick Nevers (see history below). The tureen is marked on the underside in red with, "Ch. Pillivuyt & Cie., Paris, Exp. 1867, Medaille d�Or". There is in addition a script, "V" incised in the base.Size is 13 1/2" x 7 3/4" x 8" tall. Condition is excellent with no cracks, chips, repairs or scratches - very minimal rubbing of the gold detailing. The dinner set was purchased in Palatka, Florida along with this provenance: The set was owned by Earl Frederick Nevers (initials EFN), a French Huguenot descendant. His ancestors fled to Russia from persecution in France, then across the Siberian Strait into Alaska, and then later migrated to the St. Johns River area of Florida. In 1818 Louis Charles Pillivuyt recognized the huge advantages porcelain had over its earthenware and other porous product competitors. He set about creating his own individual combination of raw materials in an attempt to make the highest quality porcelain. His porcelain factory was founded in the Berry Region of central France (one of the two crucibles of the French porcelain industry), at Foecy. In 1853 Charles Pillivuyt decided to move his factory to Mehun on Yevre near the channel of Berry about 250 km (200 miles) outside of Paris (between Bourges and Vierzon).
