Twenty Seven Pieces of French Quimper and Faience, most by Henriot, consisting of a white scalloped edge circular plate; a chicken; a rooster; a fish form spoon rest; a yellow oval scalloped bowl; two yellow octagonal plates; a pair of wall pockets; a circular domed lid; two coffee cups; 2 saucers; a fan shaped toothpick holder; a small yellow square vase; two white scalloped saucers; two shell form spoon rests; three circular platters; a yellow circular plate, a circular yellow rim bowl, and a polychromed bisque figure of two children. Rooster- H.- 9 in., W.- 4 in., D.- 10 1/2 in. (27 Pcs.) Provenance: “Little Oaks,” Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, the private collection of Dr. Donald & Deborah Bell.

Most of the collection has age and as such most of the pieces exhibit scattered chips and crazing to glaze. One of the white shell-form spoon rest plates and one of the coffee saucers exhibit well-integrated repairs with matching overglazing and paint. The tail on the fish-form spoon rest has been repaired. The small cream colored bowl with a yellow rim has a 1/2 inch vertical hairline crack to the rim, and the older of the two coffee cups also has 2 vertical hairline cracks of the approximate size. The bisque figurine of the children has small losses and repairs to the front with green overpaint. The yellow octagonal plates have metal springs and clasps on the back to hang. All pieces are attractive and retain excellent clarity of color. Condition is commensurate with utilitarian use and age. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
