[QUOTE="Brian Warshaw, post: 9839265, member: 16674"]Pottery began in Britany in the Gallo-Roman time 1 BC to 5 AD, but a modern pottery came along in 1690 when a southern French potter of renown. Jean Baptiste Bousquet, moved north and established a pottery in Quimper. His reign at the “Grande Maison” almost 100 years before an employee broke loose and created what became known as the Porquier factory. In 1778 a third faiencerie was founded by Guillaume Dumaine that primarily produced stoneware; but later, in 1884, 18-year old Jules Heriot took over management of the factory. After he assumed directorship he adopted his forst mark, "HR". "H" fir Heriot, "R" after his wife's maiden name It then became known as the Heriot factory. The start of the Heriot Dynasty. According to Ann Marie O'Neill's book Quimper Pottery, Dumaine's factory occasionally decorated it's wares in a "simple and primitive manner." O'Neill also suggests that it was sometime between 1860 and 1870 that the Grande Maison started marking their products with an “HB”. It is my contention that between 1870 and 1884+ when Jules Heriot joined Dumaine, that Dumaine produced this plate and signed it "D". I have read [USER=22292]@KylieS[/USER] - [SIZE=4]French pottery - Quimper fakes? and have not been able to find any marks relating to Guillaume Dumaine. Your thoughts please.[/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]491811[/ATTACH] Bumpy bottom and rim which O'Neill suggests is caused by a rough wood mould. Sign of age. [ATTACH=full]491812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491820[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491847[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491848[/ATTACH] Mark Dx and crazing top and bottom (quite large craing blocks) [ATTACH=full]491849[/ATTACH] Chip showing red clay [ATTACH=full]491850[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491852[/ATTACH] A clumsy drop of something on top of the glaze [ATTACH=full]491854[/ATTACH] Thank you.[/QUOTE]
