About the Item

From the Grand Maison Quimper factory, a low footed faïence comport or compote serving piece, France, circa 1910 – 1915. 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 top of the comport shows a round plate with an inner Couronnes border glazed in blue and a russet orange-red with and a blue outer rim, A sujet ordinaire central image of a Breton Garçon in the native dress, stands with a walking stick between arbustes – an evergreen tree and a spray of upright cattails. Birds fly overhead. The footing is conical in shape, and shows a single blue band at the base. 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. 8.5 inches in Diameter x 2 inches High In very good antique condition, rustically potted and beautifully hand painted. A shallow sliver to the unglazed bottom of the footing, unseen from the top or side, not affecting the seating of the piece. Stilt marks are seen on the verso of the top plate, a kiln effect.
