<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KylieS, post: 4276690, member: 22292&quot;]So the picture is starting to form...looks like Malicorne!</p><p><br /></p><p>i wrote to a Quimper expert yesterday (see oldquimper.com if anyone wants more information and access to a very good book on the subject!) and she came back with this reply:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;They are not Quimper...they are Malicorne. Malicorne is a town in the Sarthe...near Le Mans. </p><p><br /></p><p>The giveaways are the color of the exposed clay, the colors and condition of the glazes, the motifs and the form. </p><p><br /></p><p>Malicorne is not Quimper, but it has a charm all its own and is just about equally as popular of a pottery to collect.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>After that I googled the pottery and found that Malicorne are still producing, and have a plate design very similar to the floral one (Antique Fleurs 88). </p><p><br /></p><p>And then we also have the less-definitive attribution of the same plate from the eBay seller. </p><p><br /></p><p>So given the weight of evidence it would seem to confirm an ID of Malicorne and I&#039;m going to state it confidently in my listing. Still not sure how old they are though...I have asked the expert for clarification on that and will update if I get a reply. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks so much for your interest and help <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> I really appreciate it![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
