The name does not refer to a specific brand or single manufacturer but the region in France where it is produced. The most well-known pieces are hand-painted with traditionally dressed peasants, sea and flower motifs, as will as other folk motifs inspired by the region of Brittany. Quimper is considered faience, a French tin-glazed pottery. Faience or faïence is the term used for fine tin-glazed earthenware pottery made in France.

Other regions throughout Europe used a similar technique. “
