content: The tureens are the visual elements for the crowning figures of the surtout. The shape of the lid of the tureens is adapted from the form of a sea-shell, upon which the animals and vegetables are placed to harmonize with the oval tureen and its plateau. The plateau is an asymmetric cartouche; vegetables are integrated into the plateau's undulating border of concave and convex forms.
