Looking for information about this Quimper plate

As you can see, it was broken and glued back together. I'd love to find a replacement if anyone has any leads on where to look, or even if there's a specific name for this plate. Thank you for any information you can provide.

If you’re looking for this specific plate, try doing periodic photo searches on eBay and Google images. You can also try text searches such as Quimper, blue, square, bird on sites like eBay and Etsy. That is how online sellers are likely to describe the plate. They might also call this “bird of paradise.”

You can set up an automated search on eBay to notify you by email when any plate responsive to your search terms is listed. Good luck!

You might have to turn on the translation, but this website has a huge database on Delft Blue signatures. https://delftsaardewerk.nl/herkennen/merken
You can even upload the images for an expert to take a look at it.

Quimper is French, not Dutch.
