3 Authentic Vintage HB Quimper France Soleil Yellow 7-1/2" Breton Man Woman Plates
This is a beautiful 3-piece set of Quimper pottery soleil yellow plates, hand made in France. The 2 Breton woman plates are marked "HB Quimper France" with morse code symbols underneath, which mark was used from 1918 to 1942; the Breton man plate has an identical mark without the morse code symbols, but appears to be the same time period. The plates feature Breton man or woman in the center, acce...nted with trees, flowers, foliage and cobalt blue lining; the plate itself has squared off corners. There are no scratches, chips or cracks, but the plates have very light crazing, and the Breton man has a glaze miss along the edge in the cobalt lining. Please enlarge photos for detail. There may be thicker areas of glaze and bubbles, glaze misses or skips, stilt marks and greenware flaws, all inherent to vintage French pottery. Note that the plates look lighter in the last photo, which was taken in natural light. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
Note: The plates will be well packed for shipping. For heavier items, FedEx will be a cheaper shipping option, especially to the West Coast. I use the cheaper of UPS, FedEx and USPS, and only charge exact shipping. If the quote is more than the actual cost, I will refund the difference back to the buyer. If you need a shipping quote to your specific zip code, please message me or use the eBay shipping calculator.
