The genuine Breton cider bowl a classic Quimper faience piece. Perfect for cider or cappuccino.
Cider has a long history and is a significant part of the culture in Brittany. Consumed year round, it is often traditionally paired with galettes (savory buckwheat crepes), a popular dish in Brittany. Drinking cider from a Bolée "Cider Cup" is a central part of Breton culture and is a common sight in restaurants and creperies throughout the area.
The Bolée is a bowl-shaped cup, sometimes with handles, designed in a special way to make consuming cider quicker and easier.
(The Bolée is also ideal for your morning cafe au lait.)
Our Quimper Faience collection is imported directly from the Henriot Quimper in Quimper, France. Founded in 1685, Henriot Quimper is know the world over for its know-how of the “Quimper Paint Touch” and the tradition of producing and hand-painting every piece of faience in-house. Henriot Quimper continues the tradition producing the traditional patterns featuring the Breton figures as well as many new more modern designs. The superbly talented resident artists at Henriot still hand-craft every piece of Quimper Pottery. Each piece of Quimper faience is completely handmade and painstakingly hand-painted. Each piece of Quimper is unique. One artist hand paints each piece from start to finish then signs the piece and marks it “Henriot” to ensure its authenticity.
