About the Item

From the Grand Maison Quimper factory, a dinner plate, France, circa 1910. This piece shows the mark registered in 1882. The HB represents the de la Hubaudière family name and the factory founders name, Bousquet. In 1904, the word Quimper was added to the HB mark. The round plate has a la touche border glazed in green and a russet orange-red, banded in yellow with a blue outer rim, A sujet ordinaire central image of a Breton Garçon in the native dress, stands with his walking stick. The figure is between arbustes – an evergreen tree and a spray of upright cattails. Birds fly overhead. The man wears a deep green shirt and orange pants over yellow leggings. Faïenceries de Quimper has been potted and hand painted in a factory near Quimper, in Brittany, France since 1708. The pottery reflects a strong traditional Breton influence and the typical design is the “Petit Breton”, a naive representation of a Breton man or woman in traditional costume. The “Petit Breton” became popular circa 1870 and is still the main design used in newer pieces. Older Quimper faience items are strongly sought after by collectors worldwide. 9 inches in Diameter x .75 inches High In very good antique condition, rustically potted and beautiful painted. Glaze popping on the surface, a kiln effect.
