Hi
Can anyone tell me if my avatar is quimper? I found it in the garden it is about 4" across small plate and a wavy raised edge. An impressed potter mark on the bottom of a walking stick with 3 lines through it. I did'nt chip it with the garden fork WoW!! I can send a larger picture if anyone is interested.
Good site Russethouse
Here I have put a better picture on my blog.
I think it might be Desvres or Malicorne - have a look at http://perso.infonie.be/vieux.rouen/english_version/indexus.html, you need to click on the pieces to see the sigs. Desvres were well known for copying other decors.
If you could post a pic of the mark I'll look through my books and see if I can pin it down.
Thanks Russethouse
I have added the mark picture to my blog this is not the colour of dish by the way I had to manipulate colour settings to show mark.
I have had a very quick look at 'Tardy' which is the standard work of reference and so far can only come up with Nevers (but the mark has an ealier date than your plate which looks like C20th to me) or Malicorne, manufacure by Pouplard but that would be a stretch.
Do you which faiencerie you are nearest to ?
It is Quimper, and would like to buy it if you want to sell?
regards
Would need a little research, but the impressed mark, is actually HP
