Marthe Le Pétillon worked at the HB factory in Quimper after the war and until 1953. "Her production is essentially made up of unique pieces, both shaped pieces (religious themes, mermaids, etc.) and decorations for dishes, cups and plates." And her production can be reminiscent of that of Isabelle Delexcourt, the latter having admitted to taking Marthe Le Petillon under her wing during her time at the Quimpéroiser factory.
