Iron Earth Plate – HB & Cie, “Swallows” model

When swallows dance on porcelain, a little bit of spring invites itself to your table... Finesse and poetry are invited to the table with this magnificent antique flat plate signed hb & cie (hubaudière-bousquet), an emblematic manufacturer of quimper. Its delicately drawn motif of swallows in flight evokes the first days of spring and the sweetness of meals of yesteryear. The hb earthenware factory, founded in the 18th century in brittany, has crossed the centuries by combining artisanal know-how and imagination. The “hirondelles” model, prized for its bucolic charm and the lightness of its decoration, has become a sought-after piece by lovers of poetic antique tableware. Condition: very good. No chips or cracks. Some marks of time (patina or micro-scratches) which contribute to its authentic charm.
