Old Quimper Pottery Faience Figure of the Madonna and Child","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is an unusual little religious Quimper \/ French pottery figurine. It is one of a small group of antique figures made in France that I have available in the online Iconic Edinburgh shop.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuimper Faience (tin-glazed pottery) was produced near Quimper in Brittany in France. The pottery was first established in 1708. The decoration is all painted by hand. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is a little miniature figure of the Virgin Mary \/ Madonna. She holds a cubby baby Jesus in her arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShe is shown wearing a blue striped dress with yellow edging to the hem, neckline, and sleeves. She wears her traditional blue veil and cloak. Check out the chubby baby! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShe is very naively modelled - and is very sweet. The figure is made of a light brown coloured pottery - and it looks like it has been made from pouring liquid clay into a mould - the tin glaze is applied after first firing and is slightly grey-blue in colour - and coats the inside quite liberally applied - all the details are hand-painted. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis is certainly an attractive and slightly quirky model; perfect for your display cabinet.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe figure measures 8 1\/4inches in height.
