Early 20th Century French Hand-Painted Quimper Oval Faïence Wall Platter
Located in Dallas, TX
This vibrant antique ceramic platter was crafted in Brittany, France, circa 1920, and exemplifies the lively spirit of Quimper faïence. Oval in shape with a scalloped rim, the tin-glazed earthenware piece is hand-painted with an elaborate Breton scene depicting villagers in traditional costume gathered in joyous celebration, dancing, conversing, and playing music in a lush countryside setting. Their colorful garments and expressive gestures convey the warmth and festivity of rural life in turn-of-the-century France.
The central tableau is framed by a richly textured cobalt blue border adorned with hand-painted floral and foliate motifs in golden ochre and soft cream tones, echoing the decorative language of Quimper’s celebrated ceramic tradition. The back shows signs of age and wear appropriate to its period, and the piece is unsigned but consistent with works produced by Henriot or HB Quimper workshops.

Mid-Century French Saint Clement Barbotine Faience Oyster Plates '6' and Dish
Located in Dallas, TX
These colorful antique plates and matching serving platter were created in France circa 1920, by the Saint Clement factory. The hand painted Majolica service features 6 round plates and one charger, all having oyster shaped and lemon wedge motifs. Every piece is marked underfoot "St Clement France". The set is in excellent condition with rich colors in the green and yellow palette.
The faience factory of Saint-Clement, 12 kms from Lunéville, was established in 1758 by Jacques Chambrette, who already owned another one in Lunéville. With this second factory he aimed at the higher segment of the market with prestigious objects. The factory received because of this a label as Royal Suplier for Marie-Antoinette's Trianon.
After Jacques died in 1758, his son Gabriel became the new owner. Between 1759 and 1763 the factory was managed by Charles Loyal, Jacques Chambrette's son-in-law, Paul Louis Cyfflé and the architect Richard Mique, who owned half the factory in 1786.
In the 18th century Saint-Clément produced domestic objects of ordinary earthenware, luxurious objects and decorative objects of fine earthenware (so-called "terre de pipe"). Between the first quarter of the 19th century and 1892 both current utensils of ordinary earthenware and fine earthenware are produced and decorative objects of grand and petit feu (Emile Gallé).
In the second half of the 19th century the factory reproduced Louis XIV objects, among them objects with very unnatural forms, where they attempted to imitate the multicolored decorations of Strasbourg faience...

Antique Delft Pottery and Faience for Sale on 1stDibs
The unique graceful design and classic style of antique Delft pottery and faience make these pieces an exceptional addition to any dining room.
The popularity of the blue-and-white porcelain developed in 14th-century China inspired Delft and faience pottery in Europe. The global expansion of trade through the Dutch East India Company led to the import of numerous examples of Chinese porcelain, resulting in the creation of Dutch Delftware, which is the term generally used to describe the tin-glazed earthenware that Dutch potters used. There were other imitations of Chinese porcelain produced by ceramicists throughout Europe, but Delftware was the most successful. This iconic tradition — the subject of a 2020 exhibition at the Kunstmuseum den Haag — resembled Chinese porcelain but was more affordable.
True blue Delftware originates only from a single location: Delft in the Netherlands. These precious pieces pair well with French faience. Unlike Delft plates, Delft vases and other pieces of Delftware, French faience utilizes a lead-and-tin glaze. This earthenware has roots in late-16th-century France. French Provincial Delft and faience tend to feature snow-white lacquered surfaces with colorful painted images or floral designs.
In terms of elegance and versatility, Baroque Delft and faience always impress. The most extravagant and boldly hued pieces are Rococo Delft and faience. Plates, tureens and other objects made in this style are frequently ornate and intricately decorated, making them ideal for display. Modern Dutch design masters often incorporate vintage decor into their contemporary designs, and Delftware items are a popular choice.
