Manufactured by the Grande Maison de la Hubaudiere
between 1922 and 1960
Odetta stoneware was named after the River Odet
which flows through the town of Quimper, Brittany.
Over 60 models were produced during this time.
Many of the pieces were signed by the artist
and are much sought after by collectors today.
If you are interested in learning more about this very different type of Quimper pottery
you may want to look for a copy of
"Odetta" by Bernard-Jules Verlingue.

That's the first time I have seen it. It's really beautiful! Thanks. ~ Maureen
Your collection of pottery is wonderful. You must enjoy it very much! Have a great week!
So different from what I associate with Quimper - interesting!
Very pretty, Maggie!
XO,

I didn'tknow this pottery. Very nice and different from the well known quimper.
Have a nice day
This is new to me - like others, it's not what I associate with Quimper pottery, but it's beautiful nonetheless.
That is very differennt from the Quimper I've seen, Maggie. I like it because it looks earthy and ancient. Beautiful colors of glazes on the pottery. I spent today shopping at a Dishes of the Past store that is closing and got some wonderful pieces of china to mix with my aunt's she left me. Enno was along and was a big help. xo Jenny
Really beautiful pottery. I wonder if it is available state-side?
All of it is so nice. I love pottery. This collection is beautiful.
Maggie, we don't own any Odetta. It reminds me of the stoneware that was popular here in the states in the 70s. Barbara and Jeff were here visiting recently, and Barbara told me she has moved her collection in this direction. She fells it offers a more contemporary look. Me, I'm still more fond of the traditional designs. ;-)
Beautiful! Some vases have some Egyptian influences...
Love the pottery and what a nice way to give us "O".
beautiful. I love that you always give us a little background too.
This is new to me -- I'm more familiar with the Quimer that is the country people, blues and yellows. I like this!
What a nice pottery ! I had never seen it.
I am a big fan of pottery, and these are terrific.
=)
What wonderful patterns they contain.
There are some wonderful pieces there ...
gosh, they look beautiful! Don't think I've heard of it before... {:-D
There are some great pieces there!
Yes definitely new to me Maggie, very attractive.
Oh Miss Maggie, it's just beautiful. I love the pitcher!!!
God bless ya and have a fantastic weekend sweetie!!! :o)
Lovely post. I loved Honfleur despite all the tourists http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2012/01/honfleur.html
I enjoyed seeing a new pattern of Quimper pottery. I always take pleasure in your posts...it's like we are taking a nice walk together as you explain your lovely area. I enjoyed the daffodils in your earlier post and eagerly await when ours will be up and blooming.
That's lovely; really chunky with strong colours!
This makes me think just a bit of talaverra pottery from Mexico. I suspect I'm not spelling that right, but the bold colors and strong patterns just made me think of that!
I have seen a few things marked Odetta at garage sales but now I will be sure to snap them up!
Thanks for a lovely and outstanding link to the letter 'O'.
A+
