Inside, a Breton woman in a white coiffe, green bodice, yellow apron and blue skirt stands on a strip of grass holding a posy, framed by rings of cobalt and black and a wide band of buttercup yellow. The outside is creamy white with a single blue line, and the two flat lugs are sponged in deep blue, the traditional shape of the Breton eared bowl, or écuelle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenriot was one of the great Quimper factories, and its painters turned out these little Breton figures by hand for well over a century, each one slightly different from the last. The base is painted Henriot Quimper France 144. The colours are crisp and bright and the glaze has a lovely soft sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bowl measures 15cm across the handles, 10.5cm in diameter and 5.5cm in height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe love it filled with green olives for aperitifs, salted almonds or pistachios, or kept on a dressing table for rings and earrings. It would sit happily beside other blue and yellow Quimper pieces on an open shelf, and makes a cheerful present for anyone who loves France, Brittany or a sunny kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Blue Loft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55821663568199,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0850\/3921\/9015\/files\/henriot-quimper-lugged-bowl-yellow-and-blue-breton-woman.jpg?v=1794408595","url":"https:\/\/www.theblueloft.co.uk\/products\/vintage-henriot-quimper-lugged-bowl-in-yellow-and-blue-with-breton-woman","provider":"The Blue Loft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
