Whimsical, colorful and unmistakably Quimper, the Henriot Chick Egg Cup brings traditional Breton charm to the breakfast table.
Handmade and hand-painted in Quimper, Brittany, France, this petite egg cup combines an adorable chick shape with the classic Breton decoration associated with the Henriot pattern. The colorful hand-painted details give this playful piece the distinctive folk-art character for which Quimper pottery is so well known.
Perfect for serving a soft-boiled egg, the Henriot Chick Egg Cup adds a delightful French touch to breakfast or brunch. Its charming chick shape also makes it especially appealing for Easter breakfasts, spring entertaining, and holiday table settings.
At just 2 inches, this petite piece is equally charming displayed in a French country kitchen, china cabinet, breakfast room, or Quimper pottery collection. It can also be used to display a small stone or collectible egg.
The Henriot Chick Egg Cup makes a wonderful gift for a Quimper collector, Francophile, or anyone who loves Brittany and traditional French pottery. Its combination of whimsical form and classic Breton decoration makes it a particularly charming introduction to Quimper faience.
Quimper’s remarkable tradition of faience pottery dates back to 1690. For more than three centuries, generations of artisans have preserved the tradition of creating and decorating pottery by hand in this historic Breton town.
Each Henriot Chick Egg Cup is individually hand-painted by a skilled artist from start to finish. Subtle variations in the colors and brushwork give every piece its own personality and are part of the beauty of authentic Quimper pottery.
Whether used for an Easter breakfast, enjoyed throughout the year, or displayed as part of a collection, the Henriot Chick Egg Cup combines playful French design with the centuries-old artistry of Quimper faience.
