<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To my great excitement, I recently discovered an authentic Provençal bouillabaisse tureen in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">faïence </a>. I knew of these faïence dishes&rsquo; existence, but had never seen, let alone owned one. These tureens are exclusively destined to the service of the region&rsquo;s emblematic fish soup. One of the very few Western dishes dedicated to a specific meal only, akin to caviar servers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It began with my love of Provençal cuisine, and of bouillabaisse in particular, that divine fare. It is routinely served as a one-pot dish, even though local tradition meticulously regulates otherwise. But I knew that one would need a particular soup tureen with tiers,often made by hand in the legendary Provence faïence factories of Moustiers, Saint-Jean-du-Désert, Aubagne and Vallauris.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">A charming book</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I chanced upon several examples in a charming book, ‘Les Arts de la table &#8211; de la joie de vivre en Provence’ (ed. Jeanne Laffitte, 2002). It features several such bouillabaisse sets, which have now become exceedingly rare &#8211; would I ever find one?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<div class="wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile" style="grid-template-columns:63% auto"><figure class="wp-block-media-text__media"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="960" height="1440" src="https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-960x1440.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2896 size-full" srcset="https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-960x1440.jpg 960w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-595x893.jpg 595w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Bouillabaisse_soupiere_Sicard-1-scaled.jpg 1707w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></figure><div class="wp-block-media-text__content">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&rsquo;s when, on the web, I came across exactly THE tureen featured on page 131 of above book. A magnificent piece from the Sicard faïence workshop in Aubagne near Marseille, in its traditional yellow livery. The original underplate is clearly visible&#8230;</p>
</div></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">An antique, almost</h4>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8230;but mine has lost its original scalloped-edged platter, though it still has its fish strainer insert and only few signs of wear. The lid handle charmingly comes in the shape of a <em>rascasse </em>&#8211; scorpionfish. The bowl features a <em>vielle </em>and a cheerfully multicoloured <em>girelle</em>  &#8211; small-mouthed and rainbow wrasse, respectively. These fish are indispensable for the classic (e.g. Marseille) bouillabaisse recipe.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="960" height="720" data-id="2639" src="https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soupiere_bouillabaisse-2-960x720.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-2639" srcset="https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soupiere_bouillabaisse-2-960x720.jpg 960w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soupiere_bouillabaisse-2-595x446.jpg 595w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soupiere_bouillabaisse-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soupiere_bouillabaisse-2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://tablonomie.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Soupiere_bouillabaisse-2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></figure>
</figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tureen is signed ‘Sicard’ under one of the handles (scantly visible in the photo on the left) but lacks any indication of the manufacturing date. Between 1930 and 1960, I think&#8230; it no longer figures in the company&rsquo;s catalogue.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&rsquo;ve put it to use several times. The traditional Marseille bouillabaise &lsquo;protocol&rsquo; takes over as a matter of course:  as a starter, soup only with croutons and rouille, followed by the various fish laid out on the strainer, entire or filletted, with a few steamed potatoes and rouille again, or aïoli.  The tureen&rsquo;s construction keeps them warm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">All this deliciousness is best paired with a white wine fom <a href="https://tablonomie.net/ou-trouver-les-vins-recommandes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cassis</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A recipe for bouillabaisse will follow shortly.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Récemment, j&rsquo;ai eu l&rsquo;immense joie de découvrir une authentique soupière à bouillabaisse en faïence provençale. Je connaissais l&rsquo;existance de ce plat particulier qui sert exclusivement à servir la soupe emblématique de la région. Mais je n&rsquo;en avais jamais vu, et encore moins tenu.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tout commence avec mon amour de la cuisine provençale, et de la bouillabaisse en particulier. Un plat divin, que l&rsquo;on consomme souvent comme une soupe alors que la tradition locale en règle minutieusement le service. Pour cela, je savais, il faudrait cette soupière particulière, à étages, telles qu&rsquo;en produisaient les faïenceries légendaires de Moustiers, de Saint-Jean-du-Désert, d&rsquo;Aubagne et autres Vallauris.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">J&rsquo;en avais aperçu plusieurs exemplaires dans un charmant livre,  «<em>Les Arts de la table &#8211; de la joie de vivre en Provence</em>» (ed. Jeanne Laffitte, 2002). Plusieurs services à bouillabaisse y sont illustrés , et notamment des soupières à étage de Saint-Jean-du Désert et d&rsquo;Aubagne. Mais ce sont aujourd&rsquo;hui des objets rares &#8211; en trouverai-je jamais ?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Voilà qu&rsquo;en chinant, je tombe sur exactement LA soupière figurant en page 131 dans sa robe jaune traditionnelle. Une création magnifique des ateliers <a href="https://www.louis-sicard.com/art-de-la-table-faience-louis-sicard/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sicard à Aubagne</a>.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Si elle a perdu son beau sous-plat à bord festonné, elle possède sa grille pour le poisson et n&rsquo;a que quelques traces d&rsquo;usage.

Tous ces poissons entrent dans la préparation classique de la bouillabaisse.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">La soupière est signée &lsquo;<em>Sicard</em>&lsquo; sous une poignée mais ne comporte aucune indication quant à la période de fabrication. Entre 1930 et 1960, je pense&#8230; Aujourd&rsquo;hui, elle ne figure plus au catalogue de la maison.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Je l&rsquo;ai déjà utilisée, avec précaution. S&rsquo;impose alors tout naturellement, le service marseillais traditionnel de la bouillabaisse qui commence par la soupe avec croûtons et rouille, et propose en second service les poissons avec quelques pommes de terre vapeur et rouille ou, parfois, de l&rsquo;aïoli. Accompagnée, naturellement, d&rsquo;un joli<a href="https://tablonomie.net/ou-trouver-les-vins-recommandes/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> vin blanc de Cassis</a>&#8230;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Une recette de bouillabaisse suivra prochainement.</p>
