  • Quimper faience is produced in a factory near Quimper, in Brittany, France. Since 1708, Quimper faience ("faïence" in French) 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. The pottery's design reflects a strong traditional Breton influence. One famous design which became typical for Quimper faience is the "petit breton", a naive representation of Breton man and/or woman in traditional Breton costume. The "petit breton" became popular around 1870 and is still today the main design bought by tourists. Older Quimper faience items are strongly sought after by collectors worldwide.

  • La faïence de Quimper est produite depuis 1708 dans le quartier faïencier historique de Locmaria, près du centre-ville de Quimper. Sa production s'est développée en faisant venir l'argile de Bordeaux et Rouen , bénéficiant de la présence de deux cours d'eau, l'Odet et le Steir et des forêts environnantes pour le combustible. L'important développement de la faïence de Quimper au XVIIIe siècle puis au XIXe siècle entraînera au XXe siècle une concurrence acharnée des deux manufactures locales qui s'exprimera autant dans la créativité des décors, via plus de 250 artistes recensés, que sur les bancs des tribunaux.
