This is Quimper Pottery, Country French, Faience, from the Quimper Breton region of France. 'Soleil' is the pattern, meaning 'sun', and the base of the pottery is bright yellow. Decorated with colors of blue, green, red, orange, these colorful pottery pieces are truly a collector's dream.
This Condiment Set contains 3 pieces, a small square bowl, a square underplate, and a serving ladle.
Quimper pieces most famously have either a Breton Woman or Breton Man as part of the decoration. This bowl has a Man in the center. The rest of the decoration is of a floral design with colors of blue, green and red.
This bowl is 4.25" square, 1.75" deep, 2" tall on it base. The underplate is 6.25" square. The ladle is 4" long, with a round bowl 2" across and 1" deep.
The markings on all of the pieces is "HB Quimper". The bowl has an additional marking of "France", indicating the bowl meant for export. It is my belief that each piece was individual, but I am putting them together here as a Condiment Set. The ladle is probably the oldest and rarest of the 3 pieces. The bowl and underplate are both marked with the pattern # "651".
