ProfessionalProduct description
This Breton faience vase captivates with the vibrancy of its decoration and the generous nature of its form. Its ample and well-balanced pear-shaped body rises on a foot encircled by a bright yellow line, while the flared neck is highlighted by a speckled blue rim, characteristic of popular productions from the Quimper region. On the main side, a male figure in traditional Breton costume occupies the center of the composition. Blue jacket, burgundy baggy breeches, black wide-brimmed hat, black shoes. The painter has carefully and imaginatively rendered the details of the costume, framed by two stylized green foliage motifs with generous forms. On the reverse, a burgundy and green floral motif lightly extends the decoration. Breton faience of the Quimper tradition developed from the 17th century, driven by manufacturers like HB Quimper or Henriot, who made the representation of the Breton peasant in costume their most recognizable signature. This artisanal and semi-industrial production reached its peak in the 20th century, spreading the image of a Brittany proud of its traditions throughout France and abroad. This piece, made in the years , is part of this beautiful tradition. Without identified markings, it testifies to a careful regional production, faithful to the aesthetic codes of Breton faience. Height 17 cm, neck diameter 8 cm.
