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 classic Tradition Woman pattern, depicting a Breton woman dressed in traditional regional costume and surrounded by the distinctive hand-painted decoration associated with Quimper faience. The Breton figure is one of the most recognizable motifs in Quimper pottery and reflects the rich folk traditions and cultural heritage of Brittany.
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.
