Hb quimper-plate earthenware wall decoration

Very beautiful Quimper earthenware plate, numbered and signed on the back HB Henriot, named after the Breton earthenware factory still in operation. The whiteness of the enameled earthenware remained perfect. No yellowing, nothing tarnished. The plate is so well preserved that we could without exaggeration present it as new. Entirely sketched and decorated by hand, as tradition requires. Here the center of the plate is decorated with 2 characters, a Breton, a Breton woman, in profile, each facing each other, in traditional Breton clothing, with hat and headdress. The rest of the plate is decorated with a delicate painted plant decoration, typical of HB Henriot's decorations. The entire decoration is painted by hand, that is to say freehand on the raw enamel, by applying oxide-based colors with a brush, a technique which allows the complete fusion of decoration and the enamel during cooking. This traditional, artisanal manufacturing method results in slight variations in color and decoration from one object to another, making each piece unique. The plate is protected by its glaze, which gives it this shine and reveals the colors of the patterns even more. Its edge is scalloped, that is to say its edge is wavy and therefore does not form a perfect round. A beautiful object, which immediately ensures a beautiful presence on the walls of a living room. Its diameter is 26.4 cm and its height is 2.7 cm. It weighs 540 g, excluding transport packaging. It is preferable to reserve its use for a purely decorative purpose. It has a clip on the back for this purpose. In perfect condition, this earthenware will be sent to you quickly, necessarily in tracked mode, in a reinforced package and very well protected by bubble wrap.
