#101-0572: “Little Bo-Peep” Plate: 9 ¼” diameter. Ca. 1925, S: HB Quimper France. Excellent condition. $85, 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”!
