Hence was coined the term "sabotage ...to disrupt something though one's shoes". Signed in underglaze black HB {Interlaced }, under the toe of the piece.

FAQs

Quimper faience refers to tin-glazed earthenware produced in Quimper, Brittany, dating back to the late seventeenth century. Characterised by hand-painted folk figures, local floral motifs, and regional themes, it became a recognised symbol of Breton craftsmanship and French provincial decorative art.

Faience ceramics are made from earthenware clay covered with an opaque white tin glaze. Before firing, artisans hand-paint intricate designs onto the unfired glaze using mineral oxides, allowing the decoration to fuse directly with the glaze during the firing process.

Authentic pieces generally feature hand-painted maker marks on the base, such as HB, Henriot, or HR, representing the specific factory lineage. Look for hand-painted brush strokes, slight glaze irregularities, and traditional motifs such as the single Breton peasant figure (petit breton).

Small ceramic objects such as faience sabots function well as accent pieces on bookshelves, mantelpieces, or bedside tables. They provide narrative character and historical contrast when layered alongside understated modern pottery or paired with natural timber surfaces.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfiber cloth. If washing is necessary, use lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges or prolonged soaking to protect crazed glazes and unglazed foot rims.
