The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Quimper faience is a traditional tin-glazed earthenware manufactured near Quimper in Brittany, France, originating in the late seventeenth century. It is characterized by hand-painted motifs, including botanical foliage, borders, and regional French figures.

Faience salt cellars are crafted from earthenware clay, molded into shape, and dipped in an opaque white tin glaze. Decorators hand-paint motifs using mineral ceramic oxides before firing the vessel in a kiln.

Authentic pieces typically feature hand-painted factory signatures on the base or rim, such as HB representing Grande Maison Henriot. Genuine examples display minor variations in brushwork, hand-inscribed lettering, and natural glaze crazing.

A double salt cellar serves as an accent piece on a dining table or kitchen sideboard. It can also function as an occasional catchall dish on a dressing table or desk for small jewellery items.

Clean hand-painted faience using lukewarm water and a mild detergent with a non-abrasive soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers and prolonged immersion in water to protect the glaze and clay body.
