The traditional Breton Lug Bowl, or Bol Breton, is one of the most recognizable forms of Quimper pottery. Found on breakfast tables throughout Brittany for generations, these distinctive two-handled bowls are traditionally used for morning coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The handles make the bowl comfortable to hold, while its versatile size also makes it ideal for cereal, fruit, ice cream or other small servings.
This Breton Lug Bowl features the charming Fleuri pattern, a colorful floral design that beautifully reflects the traditional character of French country pottery. Its cheerful hand-painted flowers bring warmth and color to the classic Breton bowl, making it a delightful piece for everyday use or a collection of authentic Quimper faience.
The tradition of Quimper pottery dates to 1690, when faience production began in the historic Locmaria district of Quimper, Brittany. For more than three centuries, Quimper has become celebrated for its distinctive hand-painted pottery and the generations of skilled artisans who have preserved this remarkable French ceramic tradition.
Each piece of Quimper pottery is individually handcrafted and hand-painted in Quimper, giving it the distinctive character for which authentic Quimper faience is known. Subtle variations in color and brushwork are part of the artisan process and ensure that each piece is truly unique.
