HB Quimper Kenilworth Studios France 1930s7.5" SquarePlates (2)~ Breton Man and WomanWhat is Quimper Pottery?Quimper faience is produced in a factory near Quimper, in Brittany, France. ... The pottery's design reflects a strong traditional Breton influence. One famous design which became typical for Quimper faience is the "petit breton", a naïve representation of Breton man and/or woman in traditional Breton costume.Quimper pottery gets its name from a town in... the province of Brittany located in northwestern France. Like the region of Staffordshire, England where Staffordshire pottery is produced, Quimper has a longstanding history as a ceramics mecca. Quimper’s close proximity to rivers provides rich riverbed clay which is good for the making of pottery. Thus, the town attracted many skilled potters who established pottery firms there. In the 1700s, Pierre Bousquet established a pottery factory in Quimper and later went into business with members of his extended family, the De La Hubaudieres to form Hubaudiere-Bousquet making pottery using the now famous “HB” mark. The factory’s pieces are marked with the highly recognizable “HB” mark and the town name “Quimper”.Sometimes the factory designation was included...in this case, "HBQuimper". (Both the Henriot and theHB factory produced pieces for Kenilworth Studios, a distributor that startedas a wholesale division of Chicago's Marshall Field's department store; otherFrench potteries will have Kenilworth Studio marks as well, including Longwy).These plates are not perfect and show wear and glaze loss and edges but consistent with use and age (C1930's) Condition of these pieces are free of cracks and crazing.
