Musicians have always played an important role in Breton life and this is reflected in their pottery. One plate features a pair of Breton musicians, one with the biniou and the other with the bombarde. These fellows are clad in traditional, colorful Breton costumes. The second plate features a young Breton couple dancing to the music. Their costumes are richly colored and exquisitely detailed. Both plates have a tinge of pink from the clay that was used in the Henriot faiencerie on the day they were produced. This is a classic pair!
The plates are 10" in diameter and priced at
$350 each.

A magnificent jardinière, just perfect for your collection. The rippled body of this piece is trimmed in yellow & gold and bordered with a band of blue décor riche. Yellow ajonc blossoms are on either side of the central panel, front and back. On one side the panel features a Breton reclining on the grass playing his biniou. On the other side we find a large spray of ajonc. A rare mark! There is a barely noticeable hairline on the front right.

Bookends are so very popular with collectors perhaps because they can be used with little chance of accidents! This petite fille was created by J. E. Sevellec in the 30 s. 5" tall. A very desirable and sweet form. From the Henriot faiencerie.

Breton figures are cleverly integrated into the form of this butter keeper from the Malicorne faiencerie. Look for the Breton couple at the top! Many lovely shades of blue!

Oh so very French! Decorated with the fleur de lys
(symbol of France) and the ermine tail (symbol of Brittany) this
6" tea/coffee pot has it all. The undulating form must have been a challenge to the potter and surely is sought after by collectors. Produced by the Grande Maison HB in the early 20th century, today it is looking for a home in your collection!
A bargain at $350.

Called a "soliflore", this Malicorne vase is meant to hold a single blossom and it features a sweet Bretonne in a country landscape. Notice that the handles are mermaids!

Malicorne again! In a village not far from Quimper there is a small Dutch settlement. Not surprisingly, they have cultivated fields of tulips. One could fill this lovely "tulipiere" with real Dutch tulips. The French seem to have all sorts of vessels for their flowers! The décor is lovely and done with great care.

We often see dragons, lizards and similar reptiles on the faience of Quimper and this is a very popular example! So collectable - a male on one side, a female on the other.

The Henriot faiencerie produced this fish platter and decorated it lavishly with a Breton wedding scene. It is a very popular piece, especially when bordered in the rich blue décor riche pattern. The wedding procession is led by a pair of musicians, one playing the biniou and the other the bombarde. (We see these fellows often in various scenes). Next in line are the bride and groom, followed by family and friends. Note the village children and a young man looking for a few stray coins have gathered to watch.
The platter is 18" long
signed "Henriot Quimper".
