Very good overall condition. Normal signs of wear and firing marks visible on the reverse, without cracks or chips. The enamel is well preserved with a beautiful shine.
Antique Celtic cross in glazed ceramic, attributed to the Henriot Quimper factory, made around the 1960s.
This decorative piece is part of the Breton tradition of Celtic crosses, symbols of the religious and cultural heritage of Brittany.
The decoration features a deep black glaze, contrasted by raised yellow enamel cabochons placed at the ends and center of the cross. The circular openwork motif with its central heart, typical of Celtic symbolism, lends the piece a striking presence. The unglazed reverse reveals the light clay, characteristic of Quimper's handcrafted wares.
