#101-0574:
Geometric Plate, 8 1/4" diameter. Ca. 1925, S: HB Quimper. A stunning
design that relates to all the 19th-century patterns like this one
(reputed to have been inspired by the windows of the cathedral in Chartres). In
perfect condition. $110, plus Shipping:$15.
The
yellow glazes were first used after the end of World War I, a time of great
artistic experimentation at the Quimper faienceries. As the American market
developed and fell in love with these colors, so did the variety of designs chosen
…many of them trials, with a very brief run, some highly successful and
continued for a long time. This collection comes from a well-known American
dealer/collector, and exemplifies the range of choices that were once available
with these glazes.
It must be noted that the camera did not take kindly to the yellow backgrounds,
making some look much paler than they really are… think “Butter” and
“Sunshine”!
