About Quimper Pottery
Quimper pottery is produced in a factory near Quimper in Brittany, France. Since 1708, Quimper pottery has been painted by hand, and production continues to this day. The "Faïenceries de Quimper" were established in "Locmaria", the historical faience quarter of the city of Quimper, near the center. The Faïencerie d'Art Breton, newly created in 1994, was also established in Quimper, but outside the historical quarter "Locmaria". "Locmaria" now also houses a Quimper faience museum.
Older Quimper pottery is strongly sought after by collectors worldwide.
