Cheap Emile Henry Provencal 5-Piece Lion's Head Soup Tureen Set, Cerise Red (Kitchen) Price

The Emile Henry 5-piece Provencal Lion's Head soup tureen set contains four 5- by 3-1/2-inch, 2-cup soup bowls and one 9-1/2- by 6-1/2-inch, 4-quart soup tureen; the tureen has a lid with a small cutout for a ladle handle. Because the bowls are safe for use under a broiler or in a microwave, they are perfectly suited for melting cheese on dishes like the classic French Onion Soup Gratinee. The tureen will keep hot soup from cooling off too quickly; and it looks great on the table. Emile Henry tableware is chip-resistant, sturdy, and lovely.

The beauty of Emile Henry's design is its simplicity; the tureen and bowls are solid-colored with Grecian-urn curves and little ornamentation besides the lion's heads. But the high-gloss glaze and rich, warm Provencal colors--pieces are available in Cerise Red, Citron Yellow, Azure Blue, and Vert Green--are anything but plain. Designed to evoke the sun-soaked palette of the South of France, these bowls can serve equally well in casual settings for everyday use or for more elegant tables on holidays and special occasions. Additional matching pieces in the Provencal style include various bowls, place settings, and serving pieces such as an oval platter, a pitcher, and covered butter dish. Emile Henry pieces are dishwasher-safe, so they're easy to clean. The company offers a three-year warranty against defects. --Garland Withers What's in the BoxSoup tureen set consists of: four 5-inch, 2-cup soup bowls and one 9-1/2-inch, 4-quart lidded soup tureen. 5 pieces total.
