Lion head — Revol

The Tête de lion (Lion Head) collection by Revol is a historic range of terrines and soup tureens in white culinary porcelain, recognisable by its sculpted lion-head motif in relief. A classic of the Revol catalogue, faithful to the expertise of the Saint-Uze manufacture.

What makes the Tête de lion collection distinctive

The Tête de lion signature comes down to a detail: a lion-head motif moulded in relief on the handles or body of the piece, inherited from traditional terrines. Revol culinary porcelain, vitrified at high temperature at Saint-Uze, keeps all its qualities: oven, microwave and dishwasher use depending on the model.

• Signature Revol culinary porcelain, made in Saint-Uze (Drôme)
• Lion-head motif in relief, inherited from traditional terrines

Choosing within the Tête de lion collection

What is the 45 cl tureen used for?

The 45 cl tureen is the iconic individual size for gratinated French onion soup: the porcelain handles oven use to melt and gratinate the cheese, then moves straight to the table with its lion-head relief. It is also useful for individual pot-au-feu, velouté or broth.

How does this piece handle oven-to-table use?

Revol culinary porcelain supports oven use, enabling the classic bread-and-cheese gratin top. Check the product sheet for specific maximum temperatures and avoid moving a piece straight from a hot oven onto a very cold or wet surface.

What other Revol options exist for individual cooking?

For different individual cooking (gratin, crème brûlée, soufflé), Belle Cuisine and Grands Classiques offer broader formats (rectangular dishes, ramekins, moulds). Tête de lion remains the reference for traditional soup service in decorated porcelain.
