What’s New at the Junk Store?

I took a trip to the junk store and saw these antique Quimper dishes in the display case.

Quimper faience is produced in a factory near Quimper  in Brittany France.  Quimper is tin-glazed and hand-painted earthenware pottery often decorated with folk art designs.  Some Quimper ware goes back to 1708 and is strongly sought out by collectors.

I am not going to spend that much money on these dishes, but they have a nice blue and white pattern.  Too rich for my pocketbook.

This photograph shows some of the interesting chairs.  The large one almost looks like it belongs in a quaint little cottage in the woods.

There is also an interesting cradle in the background.

I am thinking this is a photograph of a rice server and possibly plates.  It has some chips on the sides, obviously well loved.
