Enjoy espresso with the timeless character of the Henriot Espresso Box Set, handcrafted and hand-painted in Quimper, Brittany, France. Beautifully presented in a metallic gift box, the set includes two espresso cups with matching saucers, making it a distinctive gift for coffee lovers, newlyweds, hosts or collectors of authentic French pottery.
The classic Henriot pattern celebrates one of the most recognizable traditions of Quimper faience—the beloved Breton figures dressed in regional costume. Rich in color and French character, these iconic figures reflect the culture, traditional dress and folk heritage of Brittany, making this espresso set unmistakably Quimper.
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.
