For your consideration is a set of four, French hand painted decorative faience plates done by Quimper Pottery in Brittany, France in the 1940s-50s. Faience operations were started by Jean-Baptiste Bousquet, a potter from Marseille, in 1690 and were carried on by his descendants. One descendant, Antoine de la Hubeaudière, left his name on the business: La Grande Maison HB. This set features three plates and a serving platter, all hand painted with bright and colorful farm scenes. The platter shows a scene between a man and a woman. Two plates show a man dancing with a large ribbon over his head reading, "Vivne libre au mourir". The final plate shows a chicken riding a small farm tool with the plate reading, "Je veille pour la nation 7792". All of the plates are signed reading, "Henriot Quimper". They shows good condition overall with little to no wear present. They measure from 12 1/2" L x 12 1/2" W to 10 1/4" L x 10 1/4" W. They have a collective weight of 5 pounds and 6 ounces.
