Antique Henriot Quimper Bowl | French Faience Ecuelle | Hand Painted Breton Man

A charming small antique bowl (écuelle) from Henriot Quimper, the celebrated faience pottery of Brittany, France. Hand-thrown and hand-painted, this two-handled bowl features the classic Quimper Breton man motif. A traditional peasant figure in a dark jacket, pink breeches, and wide-brimmed hat, walking with a cane through a stylized landscape of grasses and fencing.  The rim is finished in Quimper's signature sponged green glaze over a mustard-orange band, with small hand-painted floral sprigs and blue dot clusters scattered around the interior. The tab handles on either side match the green-and-orange rim treatment.  Signed on the base in black script: Henriot Quimper France 774.  This piece has the warmth and slight imperfection of true hand-painted faience — no two are ever exactly alike. In good vintage condition. Note, a have another Quimper set listed, if you’d like a bundle deal.
