Vintage Georges Briard Bretonne 12 inch Chop Plate, Quimper France Platter

This vintage 12-inch chop plate from Georges Briard is part of his Bretonne collection that was made in the 1970s. The design is a vibrant adaptation of French country pottery from Quimper, France, where hand-painted faience has been produced since the early 15th century. This platter features a bold central shell motif surrounded by floral sprays, butterflies, and lattice bands in classic French provincial colors—blue, yellow, rose, and green—on a scalloped white porcelain base.

The reverse is inscribed with a historical note about the Bretonne pattern and its roots in traditional Quimper ware, stating it is an adaptation from a plate in Georges Briard’s private collection. Briard, known for his mid-century modern flair and collectible serveware, blended European folk art inspiration with timeless form and function in this piece.

This platter works beautifully as a table centerpiece, wall display, or as a serving piece for those who love European design and vintage entertaining. A meaningful gift for Francophiles, cottagecore decorators, or collectors of Georges Briard.
