A vintage glazed ceramic service set comprising a large lidded tureen and six matching cups. The set features elaborate relief-molded decoration depicting grape clusters and vine leaves. The exterior is finished in a glossy, multi-coloured majolica-style drip glaze, blending moss green and earthy brown tones with vibrant burnt-orange accents. The globular tureen is supported by three feet fashioned as grape bunches, while the domed lid is surmounted by a finial shaped as a cluster of grapes with a curved handle. Each cup displays corresponding relief moulding at the base of the handle and a contrasting cream-coloured interior. A faint hand-painted mark, possibly VINA, is present on the underside of one cup. This set exemplifies the rustic, organic aesthetic popular in mid-20th-century decorative ceramics. Measurements: Tureen and cups were not measured.
