This antique French dessert plate made by Utzschneider & Cie in the "Types Bretons" pattern. The Bretons live in Brittany in northwestern France and are so often pictured on Quimper pottery. The transfer printed scene depicts a boatman holding an oar and carrying his gargoulette (water jug). He's dressed in the traditional 19th century sailor's outfit, topped with a beret. He is chatting with a comely French mademoiselle, also dressed in 1800's clothing, wearing a conical, lace trimmed cap and carrying a parasol.
The central scene has these words printed beneath it: MARINIER DES BORDS DE LA LOIRE, NANTES (BOATMAN FROM THE BANKS OF THE LOIRE, NANTES)
It's surrounded by crowned coats of arms, fruits and flowers and a wonderful scene with an anchor, crossed oars, a chicken and a rooster and baskets of fish. All of this is on pure white faience. The mark on the underside Includes "U & Cie" (for Utzschneider and Company), "TYPES BRETONS" (Breton Types) and "SARREGUEMINES." This mark was used circa 1900.
The plate measures 8 inches across and weighs 9 ounces. Save for a tiny old chip on the left upper edge it is in excellent condition, with no hairlines, cracks or stains. It's a beautiful antique plate that displays beautifully.
