Vintage Olfaire Rabbit Tureen | Large Portuguese Majolica Bunny | Easter & Spring Statement Centerpiece

Vintage Olfaire Rabbit Tureen | Large Portuguese Majolica Bunny | Easter & Spring Statement Centerpiece

 This is not a small accent piece — this is the centerpiece.

A beautifully sculpted vintage Olfaire rabbit tureen, made in Portugal, featuring a reclining white bunny nestled into a classic woven basket base. The modeling is wonderfully dimensional, with textured fur, soft blush-pink ears, and expressive red eyes that give it personality without feeling kitschy.

The rabbit rests atop a hand-painted grassy mound, fitted perfectly into its white basket-form tureen base — a charming nod to traditional European majolica serving ware.

Stamped on the underside:

OLFAIRE

MADE IN PORTUGAL

Olfaire is known for its richly glazed, high-quality ceramic pieces, and this tureen is no exception. The glaze is luminous and creamy with beautiful depth and movement across the sculpted surface.

Why This Piece Stands Out:

• Large, impressive scale — true statement size

• Perfect Easter brunch centerpiece

• Gorgeous filled with florals or greenery

• Beautiful layered with blue and white

• Estate sourced in Texas

This is the kind of piece that would have been brought out every spring — carefully unwrapped, filled with something special, and placed front and center on the table.

It bridges function and display beautifully:

– Use as a traditional covered tureen

– Style open with moss and eggs

– Let it anchor a grandmillennial spring tablescape

– Or display year-round in a collected cottage interior

Condition: Beautiful vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear consistent with use. No visible structural issues.

A true heirloom-quality seasonal piece — substantial, sculptural, and increasingly difficult to find in this size and condition.

Pieces like this are why I love sourcing the South and the great state of Texas for vintage and antique estate decor…shopping estate sales, auctions, charity thrift stores, and antique malls to carefully curate a collection of fantastic finds that have and will stand the test of time.

It measures 9.5”  tall x  11” wide x 7.75” deep and is in lovely estate condition.
