The colorful and charming decorations on French Quimper pottery (pronounced Kem-pair) have made it a popular ware for over 300 years. Brightly clad men and women, many in the traditional clothing of Brittany, and other designs, reflect the Celtic heritage of Breton culture: its rolling green countryside, grazing animals, and small fishing villages.

Over the years, a tremendous amount has been exported to North America and England. Quimper faience has been produced by three primary factories in the French town of Quimper.

Today old Quimper ware is collected avidly here and abroad and the new ware is cherished. We hope that you will find a piece or two to start or add to your own collection!

I am now launching my website. Creating this website will allow me to reach many more faience fanatics. I will offer a fine selection of faience on a regular basis. Each piece will be carefully wrapped and sent to its new home, fully insured and guaranteed to be as described. Returns may be made, no questions asked, within five business days. However, shipping to and from must be paid by the client. Click HERE to peruse the wares.
