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 bold la touche border glazed in green and a russet orange-red, with dots applied over yellow bands, and a blue outer rim, A sujet ordinaire central image of a Breton woman in the native dress, stands holding a flower. The figure is between arbustes – an evergreen tree and a spray of upright cattails. Birds fly overhead.
The woman wears an orange shirt and a brown apron over a blue skirt.
This example is also signed on the back as well as the front.
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.
