This rectangular serving tray is made of tin or similar lightweight metal, finished with a white enamel coating and decorated in the traditional Quimper folk style. The central motif depicts a Breton couple in traditional 18th or 19th-century attire, with the man holding a staff and the woman holding flowers. Surrounding the central scene are stylized floral sprays in shades of blue, orange, and green. The scalloped edges feature a blue sponge-painted or mottled border. Text markings at the bottom identify the manufacturer as 'FAIENCERIES DE QUIMPER' and 'HB HENRIOT'. The piece exhibits a mid-20th-century aesthetic, likely produced as a decorative souvenir or utilitarian bar tray. Condition appears good with minor shelf wear and some light surface scratching typical of enameled metalwaver. The colors remain vibrant, and the graphics are crisp, reflecting the naive but charming craftsmanship associated with the region of Brittany, France. The tray represents a common collectible item from this historic pottery region, though rendered in metal rather than the more traditional faience ceramic.

I have conducted a visual examination of the HB Henriot Quimper enameled metal rectangular tray. This piece is a mid-20th-century souvenir or utilitarian item that translates the traditional Breton ceramic aesthetic into a more durable, mass-produced metal format. The tray features the classic 'Breton couple' motif and is clearly marked 'Faienceries de Quimper' and 'HB Henriot.' Based on the images provided, I find the graphics to be crisp and the colors vibrant, with only minor shelf wear and surface scratching consistent with light domestic use. The metal core appears structurally sound without significant denting or enamel loss (chipping), which is crucial for enameled collectibles. The market for Quimper is highly specialized; collectors typically prioritize the hand-painted tin-glazed faience (ceramic) over metalware. Consequently, while the 'HB Henriot' name adds brand value and guarantees stylistic authenticity, these metal trays were produced in larger quantities and occupy a lower price point than their pottery counterparts. Comparable sales for similar Quimper metal bar trays generally land in the $40 to $70 range depending on the specific scene depicted and the buyer’s interest in the motif. Limitations: This appraisal is based solely on digital images. For a definitive authentication and final valuation, I would require an in-person physical inspection to assess the weight of the metal, check for hidden corrosion under the enamel (which can cause future 'popping'), and confirm the absence of modern high-gloss clear-coat restorations. A review of the purchase provenance would also assist in confirming its exact production era.
