About the Item
Decorate a kitchen wall or a shelf with this important antique platter. Created in Brittany, France circa 1895, the large hand-painted ceramic plate depicts a traditional scene with Breton people in attire costumes, gathering in front of a large church. The composition also shows two young men serenading the crowd with musical instruments. The oval platter with scalloped edges is decorated with a two-tone blue leaf border, and is embellished in the center top with the coat of arms of Bretagne. The colorful wall faience piece is in excellent condition commensurate with age and use, and adorns rich colors. The large oblong decorative plate would make an outstanding addition to your porcelain collection. Signed HB Quimper on the front and underside, for further authentication. Hanging devise in the back for easy install.
Quimper pottery has a long, impressive history. Tin-glazed, hand painted pottery has been made in Quimper, France since the late seventeenth century. The earliest firm, founded in 1685 by Jean Baptiste Bousquet, was known as HB Quimper. Another firm, founded in 1772 by Francois Eloury, was known as Porquier. The third firm, founded by Guillaume Dumaine in 1778, was known as HR or Henriot Quimper. All three firms made similar pottery decorated with designs of Breton peasants and maritime and flower motifs. The Eloury (Porquier) and Dumaine (Henriot) firms merged in 1913. Bousquet (HB) merged with the others in 1968. The group was sold to a United States family in 1984. More changes followed, and in 2011 Jean-Pierre Le Goff became the owner and the name was changed to Henriot-Quimper. The French firm has been called Societe Nouvelle des Faienceries de Quimper HB Henriot since March 1984. Pottery was made in Quimper when the city was part of the Roman Empire, long before tin-glazed pottery was being made.
