Henriot Quimper Hand-Painted Breton Tea Set – Rare French Pottery
£ 70.00
On offer is a rare and charming hand-painted tea set by Henriot Quimper, one of France’s most beloved and historic pottery makers. This vibrant and distinctive set is a striking example of Breton faience ware, celebrated for its rustic charm, bold colour palettes, and regional identity.
This vintage Quimper tea set includes:
🍵 1 hand-painted teapot (approx. 7 inches tall)
🍵 1 covered sugar bowl
🍵 1 cream jug
🍵 4 matching cups (no saucers)
Each piece is uniquely hand-decorated in the classic Breton stripe pattern featuring bold strokes of blue, orange, and olive green on a creamy white background, all accentuated with a signature rustic charm. The whimsical domed lids and flared spouts are classic hallmarks of Henriot Quimper’s iconic designs.
Marked on the base with the Henriot Quimper backstamp, this set is a genuine example of traditional faïence pottery from the town of Quimper in Brittany, a region with ceramic-making roots dating back to the late 17th century.
The condition is very good, with no cracks or chips visible — just the natural irregularities and slight glaze imperfections expected in authentic hand-painted earthenware. This set is a rare survivor in such complete form, perfect for collectors or daily use in a rustic or French country kitchen.
