Quimper faience is a traditional style of tin-glazed earthenware produced in the town of Quimper in Brittany, France, dating back to the late 17th century and renowned for its distinctive hand-painted regional figures.

These pieces are crafted from local clay, finished with an opaque white tin glaze, and hand-painted using traditional metallic oxide pigments before undergoing a high-temperature kiln firing.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted maker marks or monograms on the reverse, characteristic Breton motifs, visible brushwork, and subtle crazing indicative of age and historical production methods.

An antique charger can be displayed on a wall using a specialized plate hanger to serve as a focal point, or mounted on a dedicated stand placed upon a sideboard to introduce historical texture and colour.

Keep ceramic chargers out of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid washing or exposing them to moisture to protect the fragile historic glaze and body.
