Description: Quimper faience is produced in a factory near Quimoer in Brittany, France. Since 1708 through now, Quimper faience has been hand-painted by hand. The oldest manufacturer of Quimper Faience is the Grande Maison HB-Henriot. The pottery's design reflects a traditional Brittany influence. This typical designis the "petit breton", a naive representation of Breton man and/or woman in traditional Breton costume. The "petit breton" became popular around 1870 and is still today the main design bought by tourists. This creamer features the Breton woman holding a bouquet of flowers. Body shape is a modified octagon, with angular handle and spout. The base is marked as follows: "RT.F.303.D.301" over the blue Henriot Quimper hand-painted hallmark and "Henriot Quimper France". The background field is white (versus the yellow or cream options). Condition: Excellent giftable condition. No crazing or discoloration. Paint intact without erosion. No chips, flakes, breaks, mends, repairs, cracks, hairlines, blemishes, or mentionable boo-boo's. Don't feel anything amiss when I run finger around edges. Surface scuff marks on base commiserate with age and use. Dimensions: 4.5" Tall x 3.25” Wide x 4.5” from spout tip to handle. Unpacked weight: 9 oz. Always happy to pass through discounts on combined shipping. I only charge actual postage, and always use recycled packing materials. Note some photos appear redundant because I take photos from all possible angles. On symmetrical items, these photos may appear redundant when there are no distinguishing differences or condition issues between side views. I gladly accept returns, but please note I do not pay return postage unless there was a significant error in my description. The item listed is being sold as is, as pictured and as described to the best of my knowledge. All dimensions and weights approximate. If you have a question or an assumption on an item prior to purchase, please ask. I much prefer to take the time on the front end to make sure you will be satisfied with your purchase. Remember, when buying vintage expect imperfections as these items have a history and have been in the possession of others. I try to list EVERY flaw which would be commented on something in an antique or vintage condition – this does not mean all imperfections resulting from normal wear & use require comment. My goal is to have no rude surprises upon receipt.
