Unusual and charming piece from the renowned Henriot Quimper Faience workshops of Brittany, France, dating to the 1930s. This decorative ceramic fan showcases the region’s Breton folk figures—stylized portraits of a traditional man and woman—painted in warm earthy tones and outlined in signature dark brown.
The piece is hand-glazed in a soft yellow ground, typical of Quimper’s early 20th-century palette, and features a scalloped top edge reminiscent of an open fan. A delightful expression of regional identity and artisanal craftsmanship, this object is both a decorative accent and a collector’s piece.
Its fan shape and dual portrait composition make it especially unique within the broader Quimper faience tradition.
