Faïenceries de Quimper has been potted and hand painted in a factory near Quimper, in Brittany, France since 1708. The pottery reflects a strong traditional Breton influence and the typical design is the “Petit Breton”, a naive representation of a Breton man or woman in traditional costume. The “Petit Breton” became popular circa 1870 and is still the main design used in newer pieces.
Older Quimper faience items are strongly sought after by collectors worldwide.
