Featured Jean-Claude Taburet plates, Quimper

Another trip to Bury today. I nearly missed them as they were on the bottom shelf tucked right in. I have identified them as Jean-Claude Taburet, Quimper. One has a couple of people depicted in the centre who appear to be dressed in period clothing. One is playing bag pipes, the other some kind of woodwind instrument or horn. The other has some guy on a horse over a mermaid. I haven't a clue what the connection is.
C 1950s I think
Ø= 20cm

 

really cool pieces, me likey like

the've got a more studio pottery look about them so much later i would think

 

isn't that a 2012 on the bottom pic ?

 

Oooh never noticed that. Just going off what t'interweb said. That's thrown a sausage in the works.

 

Jean-Claude TABURET (1926-2013)

 

Not "period" clothing. "Traditional."

Debora

 

i don't think it matters a jot between them being 1950s or 2000s, seems a good name....and more importantly nice plates

 

Yes indeed. The more I look, the more I find out about him. He seems quite well recognised.

 

oh and about that........can i have it back please ?.....i'm thinking with branston pickle
(not that my diets waning or anything)

.......did somebody say sausage ?

 

Sorry it's too gnarled and chewed to release back into the public. I'm confiscating it!

 

o dear..........in other words he's eaten it again..........

 

I aint' sayin' no to either of you guys !

 

something you can get over the pond bosk ?

 

i remember asking my mum what was in it (one of those kids)

and she told me INTESTINES (if i remember rightly)

but was too young to know what intestines were.....so didn't bother me

........sarcy cow though

 

So 'period clothing' is used for a specific time in history? Eg 'The film was set in the late 18th century and the cast were wearing period clothing'.

 

Lovely plates and the colors are fabulous!

 

Yes.
Your first plate depicts men in traditional Breton dress, aka Breton regional dress.

 

@charlie cheswick yep, you can (or could) get Branston Pickles at 'World Market' (the old Cost Plus) abt 5 miles down the road. Great store for international eats.It's where we bought our Perrier Jouet for our wedding.

 

Thanks for info. I wonder where ttd horse and mermaid come into it.
