Henriot Quimper Faience Vase with Hand Painted Floral Decoration

This vintage Henriot Quimper faience vase is a colourful and charming French ceramic piece, decorated with hand painted flowers, foliage and traditional Breton inspired detail. Measuring 19 x 13 cm, it has a rounded ovoid form with a narrow neck, giving it a lovely shape for display on a shelf, mantelpiece, dresser or side table.

The white glazed body is painted with cheerful floral motifs in pink, yellow, orange, green and cobalt blue, with a bold blue rim and a warm yellow band around the neck. The decoration has the lively folk art character associated with Henriot Quimper pottery, where hand painted detail, bright colour and regional charm are central to the appeal.

Henriot Quimper is one of the best known names in French faience, with a long tradition of ceramics made in Quimper, Brittany. This vase carries that distinctive decorative style, bringing together floral painting, confident colour and a strong sense of French folk pottery charm.

It would look beautiful filled with dried grasses, wheat, garden stems or a small seasonal posy. It would also work well as a decorative ceramic piece in its own right, especially styled alongside blue and white china, French pottery, vintage books, woven baskets or coloured glass. The palette gives it a fresh, joyful quality that suits country kitchens, cottage interiors, coastal homes and collected vintage displays.

The vase is in good vintage condition with light signs of age and hand painted variation, all in keeping with its character as a decorative ceramic piece. A lovely Henriot Quimper vase with colour, charm and plenty of styling potential.
