Quimper, picturesque city of the old world, is located in the north ouest part of France called Brittany. The city is considered the cradle of earthenware/faïence which bears its name as the Faïence de Quimper.
The Quimper Faïence is best defined as sense of pride, pride that is the outcome of years of tradition that harmoniously combines the old-fashioned techniques of fabrication, the passion of hand painted tradition and a strong sense of excellence. The brilliant reputation of the Quimper Faïence is built on its constant quest of excellence that makes it the most prized in the world.
Blending hundreds of years of experience and talent, this factory is one of the few remaining Faïencerie in France which doesn't use any transferts or stamps. All pieces are fully designed and painted by hand so they are all different and unique. They're marked with a symbol which is formed usingthe initial letters of "Faïencerie d'Art Breton" and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
