Charming and distinctly Breton, the Fred Quellac Woman Miniature Plate celebrates the traditional figures and colorful folk-art heritage that have made Quimper pottery beloved by collectors around the world.
Handmade and hand-painted in Quimper, Brittany, France, this petite plate features a Breton woman dressed in traditional regional costume, interpreted in the distinctive Fred Quellac style. Her colorful costume and expressive hand-painted details capture the character, culture and artistic traditions of Brittany.
Measuring just 4.75 inches, this miniature plate is perfect for display in a French country kitchen, china cabinet, bookshelf, or tabletop. Its petite size also makes it a wonderful gift for a Quimper collector, Francophile, or anyone with a special appreciation for Brittany and traditional French pottery.
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.
Display the Fred Quellac Woman Miniature Plate individually or pair it with the Fred Quellac Man Miniature Plate to create a charming Breton couple. It can also be grouped with other miniature Quimper plates for a colorful collection of authentic French faience.
Each piece is individually hand-painted by a skilled artist, so subtle variations in the figure, colors and brushwork give every plate its own unique character.
