1930s French Signed Henriot Quimper Faience Yellow Fan Breton Man Woman Decor
-
Description
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.
