A collection of hand-painted ceramic egg cups, primarily of French origin. The group features several pieces of Quimper faience from Brittany, including a pedestal egg cup with a matching saucer, both bearing the hand-written marks HB HENRIOT QUIMPER FRANCE with pattern and decorator codes F.364, D-382, and S.F. Two additional pedestal egg cups of Quimper manufacture are present, decorated with traditional Breton figures in folk costume; these are marked HB QUIMPER F361 D. 201 RM- and HB QUIMPER D200 F36H MM respectively. The assembly also includes a pedestal egg cup decorated with a fruit motif, marked DIPINTO A MANO to the base, and a smaller porcelain egg cup featuring a gilded lattice and floral design with the backstamp for ANCIENNE MANUFACTURE ROYALE LIMOGES FRANCE and the inscription Decor Main. The pieces are finished with various glazes and showcase traditional hand-painted polychrome decoration.
