- "The ceramist Bel Delecourt was born in Paris in 1915. In 1933, she obtained her diploma in commercial engineering. When the Second World War broke out, Bel Delecourt moved to Quimper. She decided to go "take a look around" the Henriot earthenware factory. At the same time, she enrolled in evening classes at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1947, she became one of the artists of the earthenware factory. Her works were already appreciated. She sought to make objects that corresponded to her personality. A brand of baby milk launched a competition to ensure its publicity. Bel Delecourt set to work and created a faience statuette that would establish her reputation. Recognized as a ceramist, she soon exhibited in New York. This was her consecration. Collectors fought over her works. In 2011, the Breton Departmental Museum in Quimper dedicated a major exhibition to her."
