Perhaps the most popular and best-known pattern in Quimper pottery, the Henriot Man is an enduring symbol of Brittany and the centuries-old tradition of hand-painted Quimper faience.
The Henriot Man Miniature Plate features the iconic Breton man dressed in traditional regional costume. Handmade and hand-painted in Quimper, Brittany, France, this petite plate captures the colorful folk-art character that has made the Henriot Man instantly recognizable to generations of Quimper collectors.
Measuring just 4.75 inches, it is a wonderful introduction to authentic Quimper pottery and an ideal size for collecting and displaying. Place it in a French country kitchen, china cabinet, bookshelf, or tabletop, or group it with other miniature Quimper plates to create a colorful display of French faience.
Its small size also makes the Henriot Man Miniature Plate a charming gift for a Quimper collector, Francophile, or anyone with a love of Brittany and traditional French craftsmanship.
Quimper’s remarkable tradition of faience pottery dates back to 1690. For more than three centuries, generations of artisans have preserved the art of creating and decorating pottery by hand in this historic Breton town.
Each plate is individually hand-painted by a skilled artist from start to finish. Subtle differences in the Breton figure, colors and brushwork give every piece its own individual character.
Display the Henriot Man Miniature Plate on its own or pair it with the Henriot Woman Miniature Plate to create a classic Breton couple and a wonderful representation of traditional Quimper pottery.
