huge antique vintage Limoges china soup tureen, white & gold cable rope Haviland

Very old, very large Haviland - Limoges china soup tureen with cable patterned handles, pure white with gold trim. This measures about 10 1/2" across the bowl, 12 1/2" across the handles.

It's in very nice condition, without chips, cracks or staining. The gold shows very little wear - this is a lovely heirloom quality piece.
