In this portion of
www.oldquimper.com, we give the floor to
Jean-Pierre, the recently-appointed Chief Financial Officer of The Meadows
Collection, pictured to the right. Now a mature six-and-a-half months of age, he is still young-at-heart and so full of enthusiasm that he has bravely stepped up to the plate...agreeing to fill the daunting task of taking over the position previously held by the late, but ever-present-in-our-hearts, Porquier-Beau whose image will continue to grace the upper left corner of this link. It is
with great pleasure we pass along the latest Memo
from J-P. |

Le Châtelain is also the name of
a Breton firm that specialises in cheese...in this case, a camembert made
in neighboring Normandy. For this issue's Memo from J-P, my selection is a knock-your-socks-off jardinière from the Henriot factory.
I suppose the conventional use
for this sort of piece would be as a container for items such as flowers,
plants, fruit, etc. But being a wee bit avant-garde and a whole lot
curious, I see it as a rare
opportunity to get-up-close-and-personal with a mythical creature... We'd like to add that, while little J-P is very clever at coming up with great stuff, he remains incorrigible where respecting boundaries and apartment rules are concerned. We'll keep trying...in the meantime, complete details on this absolutely magnificent example of Quimper art pottery can be found in this issue's Shop in Your Slippers pages.
