Featured Quimper Info Please?

Hello all my name is Jay,

I am new here well new to thread posting and forums in general so please forgive me if I am doing this incorrectly. I would also appreciate any feedback as to forum etiquette. Back to the question at hand I’m looking for information on this Quimper pottery piece that I have had for a while. I would like to know the date or time frame that it was produced? I was told it was from the 80s but I’m not sure. C.G. is this a artist initials and who that artist is also 480? Is that a pattern number?

Thank you all in advance.

I think 485 is the model number , but others will know better !!!!

 

Made after 1984. It was made by "SOCIETE NOUVELLE DES FAIENCERIES DE QUIMPER" --a group of American investors who bought the rights to make the pottery. It's a bit more complicated than that but it's now back in French ownership using different marks.

 

Hello Jay. Welcome! Nice job on your first posting.

 

This style of serving dish with what appears to be 3 separate sections is usually referred to as a relish dish for serving pickles, olives, etc.
