The traditional Breton Lug Bowl, or Bol Breton, is one of the most recognizable forms of Quimper pottery. A familiar sight on breakfast tables throughout Brittany, these charming two-handled bowls are traditionally used for morning coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The handles make the bowl easy to hold, while its versatile size is also ideal for cereal, fruit, ice cream or other small servings.
This 4-inch Breton Lug Bowl features the Lighthouse pattern, a delightful maritime design inspired by the lighthouses and rugged coastline of Brittany. The nautical motif makes it especially appealing to collectors of French pottery and anyone who loves the coastal traditions of Brittany.
The tradition of Quimper pottery dates to 1690, when the manufacture of faience began in the historic Locmaria district of Quimper, Brittany. For more than three centuries, Quimper has become renowned for its distinctive hand-painted faience and generations of skilled artisans who have preserved this celebrated French ceramic tradition.
Each piece is individually handcrafted and hand-painted in Quimper, giving it the distinctive character for which authentic Quimper pottery is known. Subtle variations in color and brushwork are part of the beauty of the artisan process, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.
