This charming antique wall platter was hand-painted in Brittany, France, circa 1900 by the HB Quimper workshop. Oval and scalloped in form, the tin-glazed earthenware piece features a lively and colorful scene titled "Noce Bretonne" (“Breton Wedding”), capturing the festive spirit of a traditional provincial celebration. Musicians in regional attire accompany dancing couples and onlookers, all rendered with joyful expression and vibrant costume detail. The pastoral background, dotted with trees and birds, enhances the narrative with rustic charm. The wide rim is delicately adorned with hand-painted floral sprays in warm ochre, green, and blue, framing the central composition and complementing the naturalistic palette. The reverse is signed with the classic “HB” mark, confirming its origin at the historic Grand Maison HB Quimper, a leading producer of Breton faïence since the 17th century. Quimper pottery traces its roots to 1685, when Jean-Baptiste Bousquet established a faïence workshop in the town of Quimper. Celebrated for its hand-painted scenes of Breton life, maritime themes, and floral borders, Quimper faïence became a symbol of French regional identity and craftsmanship. The HB atelier later merged with other regional makers, and the tradition continues today. Rich in cultural character and in excellent condition commensurate with age, this antique wall charger...

This antique eighteenth-century Dutch Delftware wall plaque is made of tin-glazed earthenware, also known as Delft faience. The shaped ceramic plaque is painted in blue, green, yellow, iron-red and manganese. Its raised, self-framing border is outlined in blue and decorated with continuous scrolling ornament against a green ground. The centre is painted with an elaborate symmetrical fantasy ornament composed of three winged masks, volutes, foliage, shell motifs and scale-patterned fields. The central mask supports a two-handled vase filled with flowers, with a bird in flight above the bouquet. The plaque is pierced at the top for suspension and was made specifically for wall display. The composition belongs to the broader tradition of French-inspired grotesque ornament that circulated in the Dutch Republic through prints by designers such as Jean Bérain and Daniel Marot. By the mid-eighteenth century, Delft painters had adapted this ornamental vocabulary freely, combining masks, scrolls and fantastical forms into highly decorative compositions. Delftware wall plaques held a distinct place within eighteenth-century Dutch interiors. In contemporary household inventories, they were sometimes recorded as porceleine schilderijen, or “porcelain paintings”, reflecting their function as ceramic counterparts to paintings on panel, canvas or copper. During the eighteenth century, Delft potters increasingly produced plaques in moulds with shaped outlines and raised borders, creating complete, self-framed decorative objects. With its unusual grotesque decoration, strong polychrome palette and pronounced shaped border, this antique Delft plaque...

Polychrome Delftware Wall Plaque with Bird and Flower Basket Delft, circa 1750 This antique eighteenth-century Dutch Delftware wall plaque is made of tin-glazed earthenware and painted in blue, green, yellow, iron-red and manganese. The lozenge-shaped plaque has a raised, self-framing border and is pierced at the top with two holes for suspension. The centre is painted with an exotic bird perched among flowering branches rising from a rectangular basket. The flowers and foliage are enclosed within a shaped cartouche outlined in yellow and green scrollwork. Large stylised flower heads interrupt the surrounding blue diaper-patterned ground, while the outer border is decorated with continuous scrolling ornament in blue, yellow and iron-red. The combination of an exotic bird, abundant flowers and geometric patterning reflects the continuing influence of Chinese and Japanese porcelain on mid-eighteenth-century Delftware. Delft painters did not simply reproduce Asian designs, but combined individual motifs with European cartouches, scrollwork and shaped borders to create new decorative compositions. Wall plaques of this type were produced specifically for display. In contemporary household inventories they were sometimes described as porceleine schilderijen, or “porcelain paintings”, reflecting their role as ceramic counterparts to framed paintings. By the eighteenth century, Delft potters increasingly formed plaques in moulds with pronounced outlines and integrated decorative borders, creating complete, self-framed objects for the interior. With its strong polychrome palette, lively bird and flower decoration and compact 26 cm format, this shaped Delft plaque...
