The Imperial White Soup Tureen with Lid delivers elegant covered serving solutions designed to elevate hot dish presentations through superior temperature retention and visual impact. Available in two versatile sizes—7 oz (210-334) and 12 oz (210-344)—this tureen extends far beyond traditional soup service, offering chefs a refined vessel for soups, baked dishes, noodle bowls, and creative covered presentations. The fitted lid traps aromatic steam, preserving heat from kitchen to table while creating memorable tableside reveals that engage multiple senses.
Crafted from premium Imperial White china and part of the extensive Serving / Buffet collection, the Soup Tureen with Lid balances functional performance with refined aesthetics that coordinate seamlessly across the collection. The covered design ensures dishes arrive at the table at optimal serving temperature, while the dramatic lid removal enhances guest experience and perceived value. The 7 oz size is ideal for appetizer portions, tasting menus, and refined first courses, while the 12 oz size supports generous servings for main course soups, substantial noodle dishes, and entrée-sized presentations, making this tureen an essential component of comprehensive covered service programs.
Traditional Applications
The Imperial White Soup Tureen with Lid excels in classic soup service, presenting French onion soup, consommé, bisque, and cream soups in elegant covered format that honors traditional European dining standards. The lid retains heat for baked soup presentations, allowing dishes to move directly from oven to table while maintaining temperature and visual appeal. The 7 oz tureen delivers controlled portions for first courses, while the 12 oz tureen accommodates heartier soups served as entrées, providing consistent presentation and temperature control across multi-course dining.
Creative Applications
Beyond soup service, the Soup Tureen with Lid offers exceptional versatility for creative menu development. Use it for individual pot pies with pastry crusts, stews and braises, baked pasta dishes such as mac and cheese or gratins, and noodle bowls including ramen, pho, and udon, where trapped steam enhances aroma upon service. The tureen also performs beautifully for rice and grain bowls, individual casseroles, warm salads, desserts such as bread pudding and cobblers, fondue service, and warm dips. Whether supporting traditional European service, contemporary comfort food, or innovative covered presentations, the Soup Tureen with Lid transforms hot dishes into memorable dining moments through thoughtful design, temperature control, and dramatic presentation.
