About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This Quimper earthenware vase, from the Breton factory HB-Henriot, exemplifies the artisanal expertise of the mid-20th century. Model 510, with its C.C. decoration, is distinguished by its polychrome floral composition, characteristic of the factory's decorative production period between 1955 and 1965.
Made of glazed earthenware, this vase features a completely hand-painted decoration. The stylized floral motifs in vibrant colors, including blue, green, yellow, and pink, demonstrate a free and skillful execution. The piece measures 25 centimeters in height. Under the base, the brush-painted marking "HB Quimper 510 C.C." confirms its origin and its referenced form.
The vase is in excellent condition, without chips, cracks, or repairs. A very slight internal micro-cracking of the glaze, inherent to the age of the piece, adds to its authentic character.
This vase blends harmoniously into a collection of Breton ceramics or as a decorative element in a classic or rustic interior. Its presence adds a touch of elegance and history to any living space.
Seller's note: This beautiful earthenware piece, signed HB Quimper, comes from the Breton factory HB-Henriot in Quimper. It is a vase in shape 510 with polychrome floral decoration.
A typical example of workshop work from the mid-20th century, circa 1955–1965, a period of floral decorative production for the factory.
The decoration, entirely hand-painted, features a free composition of stylized flowers in vibrant colors (blue, green, yellow, pink), characteristic of creations from this era.
Under the base, the brush-painted mark “HB Quimper 510 C.C.” indicates a referenced shape and a variation of the workshop decoration.

This type of vase, with its non-figurative floral decoration, belongs to the so-called "international decorative" production, distributed both on the French market and for export in the second half of the 20th century. A beautiful decorative earthenware piece from Quimper, homogeneous and elegant, representative of the HB factory's post-war craftsmanship, ideal for a collection of Breton ceramics or for interior decoration.
