Measuring an impressive 12.5 inches in diameter, the piece features a serene hand-painted maritime scene in classic Quimper blue: a sailboat gliding across calm waters, framed by windswept trees and lush shoreline details. Floral motifs encircle the scalloped rim, adding elegance and balance to the central artwork.

The reverse is marked “MARINE / DÉCOR MAIN / HB QUIMPER / FRANCE,” confirming its hand-decorated origin from the renowned HB Quimper pottery. The artist’s initials also appear on the front, characteristic of authentic, individually painted Quimper pieces.

With its traditional palette, artisanal brushwork, and substantial size, this plate displays beautifully on a wall or plate stand and makes a striking addition to any collection of French country, coastal, or provincial decor.

A classic and collectible example of Quimper artistry—both decorative and delightfully evocative. See less
