From the Grand Maison Quimper factory, a Breton handled serving piece with an attached condiment bowl, France, circa 1915 – 1920.
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.
An unusual piece suitable for cooked vegetables with a sauce or crudités with a dip. The main bowl of this serving piece shows a scalloped rim with an inner border glazed in a blue entwined border with blue dotting and a running floral border. The exterior is bordered in a similar manner. The inside of the main bowl shows a hand-painted sujet ordinaire central image of a Breton couple in the native dress. The garçon stands with a walking stick, his female companion holds a flower. They stand between arbustes – an evergreen tree and a spray of upright grass. Brightly painted. The attached smaller condiment bowl also has a scalloped rim, glazed with a complimentary border and a central floral spray.
Two side twisted handles are sponge glazed in blue. The outside is painted with a similar border. There is a footing on the bottom, pierced for hanging.
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.
